Topic: News about Hyperbola-development

Hello together,

there are news about the concurrent and further development for Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre and of course HyperbolaBSD. But first to mention the difference again:

  • Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre is a distribution around the Linux-libre kernel, built on top of the FSDG as we all know

  • HyperbolaBSD is a complete operating-system, a libre and free kernel included and a userland built around

To help the team more people will come aboard and if you enter the IRC-channel of Hyperbola tomorrow you'll see interested participants with discussions about the project, the upcoming points and plans. Also having more into the theories for free, libre software and culture itself. I know everyone is curious about the plans and what to come. So feel free to read more about the past sessions here: https://www.asle.ec/entrevistas-hyperbolabsd/

So everyone being interested: Feel free to participate further. Helping the team, helping the community itself. That's the plan behind having quiliro on board, with others. So welcome all of you, some also already known throughout the forum:

Ana Barahona
Minall
Sagar Acharya
rachad

But there is more as in the current session the following was discussed:

  • Insights about SCM (Source Control Management), therefore git as option, an interesting link for help was given from Emulatorman: https://www.udemy.com/course/git-complete/

  • The repositories of Hyperbola as project will have a rework coming up, therefore being more structured towards personal repositories of the team to check, test and develop, the conclusion for extension of the team and having the repositories more efficient sorted for reviews

  • You want more communication? Well, there is a mumble-server right at hand: https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id … umble_chat

So you think that's all for now, folks? No, there is much more coming up as the team is grouping and learning more to work together. But this is only possible with the help from all of us. Emulatorman had mentioned it here. Therefore also the new initiative mentioned with ASLE. And I'm into the team to help with communication and sort out thoughts. Feel free as always: Communication is the key. Thanks for now to all of you!

You know the difference between compiler and interpreter? Read more under the following link: https://betterprogramming.pub/compiler- … a12ca1c1b6
Essential about this point is to get the impression about the difference approaches when creating a package to be installed and this is also needed for helping to create packages.

Today we're talking first about pointers in C. Here you can find the concurrent information about that part. Furthermore: The examples to follow here. And just for the next part to talk about more data-structures like a stack, the example to be find here.

Pointers are not easy to understand and I have recognized again: There is no real easy way to explain them. Also we have another example within the thread for the keyword void, to look here.

Finishing the lesson about pointer and also some more definition for the concrete posting.
Within this point the concurrent lessons about C are going to halt here. Furthermore it is important to get the work for Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre 0.4 done and therefore a possible release-schedule. For everyone interested to help: Visit us within the IRC.

Besides that the stack-example got a better version with comments!

Re: News about Hyperbola-development

Thanks throgh. Those had some errors. I have pushed updated versions on

https://git.hyperbola.info:50100/~team/ … extra.git/

Let's make a list of everything left till v0.4 and make a fast sprint towards a v0.4 iso.

Now the first window-managers are available: i3-wm, jwm and icewm.
The first complete desktop-environment is ready for testing: lumina.

For more just have a look onto:

https://git.hyperbola.info:50100/packages/core.git/
https://git.hyperbola.info:50100/packages/extra.git/

But that's not all: We are now up to more applications, libraries and environments coming up within the next days. Therefore also getting this thread updated. smile

Re: News about Hyperbola-development

Just check the actual list of packages for being included into Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre 0.4. There are changes about the progress and especially the package gtkgreet cannot be included further as it depends on PAM and needs Rust / Cargo for compilation as it is only possible to run with the display-manager greetd (https://git.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/greetd).

Re: News about Hyperbola-development

Hey you all, it has been a longer time this thread was not really more active. So this is changing for today: Work is done for HyperbolaBSD in the background most the time as rebranding is needed in the first place. Everyone being interested here: You are for sure invited to help and support. Nevertheless we also go further for our version 0.4. There will be a merge coming from testing to stable, so you will get all the added new and optimized packages and removals.

After that the next to come is version 0.4.1 and we will work on exactly two parts being stable: runit and hyperinstaller
Also here the invitation: Everyone interested in testing or further fixing, just contact us throughout for example tox. There are already tests going for now, thanks to the_hype.

Good to know, btw...

You may be interested in a psrticular audacity fork:

https://github.com/saucedacity/saucedacity

it is one of the few that has life still in it that actually isn't infected and/or dead.

In the case of most forks, dead is more accurate tho...

Except a certain one, which I don't need to name...

You can wait for it to be stable, wait till HyperbolaBSD is stable, 0.4.1, or just not bother till other informations is made available, etc...

Just wanted to mention this project...

Re: News about Hyperbola-development

There are some decisions of that project: I would name them not that good. First updating wxWidget-version too fast for us. That's just our problem. But then again going for Qt? Here to quote:

**Having seem the shortcomings of wxWidgets and how other open source applications (e.g. VLC and Dolphin), I have decided that moving to Qt for Saucedacity will be in the best interest of Saucedacity. Qt is more feature rich and also has better platform support as well, with some special points of interest at some of its offerings like QML. Either way, it is time we move on to something better, in the hopes to write better code and add some good features not previously possible.

https://github.com/saucedacity/saucedacity/releases

Free and libre means to be also free in the decisions. Yes, using Qt is one that decision. But Qt has a problem at all with free software and the licensing behind is one thing. Another one is qtwebkit to be named and in the future their decisions are only for "corporate open-source". But we should use this thread here not for that. Audacity is here: https://forums.hyperbola.info/viewtopic.php?id=538

On that note then, it depends which qt, doesn't it?

if its qt5, is it really an issue? as long as qt-webkit isn't being used?

Up to the team, right?

Re: News about Hyperbola-development

Yes, up to the team to decide. But up to all of us to decide here to integrate even more Qt-packages. From my concurrent point and knowledge: That  is a NO. Qt has proven in a whole that they don't respect "free software" and only the foul compromise of "open-source". So I would be pragmatic for Qt5, but not for any newer version and release. wink

Well, if qt6 really does require gtk to use, I would definitely agree... and if qt5 cannot be continued tp ne maintained without a massive amount of help as well.

Due to bloat being so irritating, etc...
