Re: [DNG] Waterfox issues under Devuan ASCII
Hello Aitor, aitor wrote: The issue was the same as you pointed out: that is, the version of the compiler. It worked for me only with gcc-6. Trying with gcc-7 the build process ends upwith the mentioned non declared functions. No idea about a possible solution so far.About the missing symbols you say you're getting, they might be related with the use of-jN together with higher versions of gcc. It happened to me building bulmages a few years ago,an accounting program, when we were migrating it from Qt4 to Qt5: using -j1 it worked. All the same, i tried with gcc-7, and the strtol function (declared in without any precompiler directive) was not recognized. no unfortunately it is not as simple as compiling with -j1. I am pretty sure it has to do with gcc7 and linux (since as said, on NetBSD I can compile with gcc7 amd -j2!) I will ask generally for help, perhaps. It would help me a lot fixing this. Maybe there are some firefox commits that fiexd it between FF 45 and 52-esr. As you noticed it fails with "standard" thigns like strtol and atoi...

Maybe a version compiled on Ubuntu 16 works? For me it is easy to make a .tgz (the build system has a "package", never made a .deb package. Will search. Maybe Aitor created a deb?

Re: [DNG] Devuan success report - Old Toshiba
Hi, Antony Stone wrote: I'm assuming that you're saying that things got noticeably worse when you "upgraded" from Debian 7 Wheezy to Debian 8 Jessie (with the introduction of systemd), but is that correct? Yes. But things got even worse with Debian 9. I'm intrigued as to how "like for like" a comparison we have here, between a version of Debian and the essentially identical version of Devuan, minus of course, systemd. This is what I think a little unfair: I felt a "gradual" worsening, release after release. Even in the time of starting up X, memory usage. Interesting is that I kept this laptop for several years on Debian and did not "add" packages, actually I just removed the nice IceApe and never replaced it with firefox which would die on such an old machine,. So standard console productivity (telnet, ssh...) , X11 and standard X tools (xterm, such), minicom. Then I have all development tools (gcc, gobjc, make, libffi) to compile GNUstep, but those should normally just consume up disk space when not used. And you update, update update... and things "look" the same but get slower and slower... On one side I would think fatter libraries, feature creep independencies. Newer kernels... And then systemd!

Maybe a version compiled on Ubuntu 16 works? Setup a i686 chroot on amd64. Either that, or a virtual machine with a i686 guest. No need for real i686 machines to compile software; they'd probably spend days doing it anyway assuming they could in the first place with big enough swap.

[DNG] beowulf and partitionable md raids
Dear Dev1ers Unfortunately Debian still thinks partionable RAIDs are not worth to integrate into the installer. Like this it is still hard work to get a Devuan beowulf on a bootable partionable md raid1 and with UEFI not even possible according to my tries... First of all I believe partitionable md raids are superior to "usual" mds which just span over partitions on different disks instead over the whole disk. If a disks dies and has to be replaced for the usual mds one needs to copy the partition table first using sfdisk -d /dev/workingdisk | sfdisk /dev/newdisk and install the boot loader on it, where as with partionable mds you can just hot add a new disk to the running raid using mdadm. Maybe that changed until today without me being aware of. I was able to set up a ascii on a partitionable raid0 including /boot using BIOS and DOS disk labels (with metadata 1.2). I failed miserably doing this using a GPT partition scheme and UEFI. Did someone manage to achieve this? Recently I retried using the beowulf installer, changed to the console to setup and format the md. The installer did not recognise the partitions are formatted and suggest refomatting them. Since I don't know if it pays attention to the stride-size and stripe-width options of Ext4 I don't want to let it do it. I then found out that it will install on it, when the raid is mounted in /target (you also need to bind mount /dev, /dev/pts, mount /sys and /proc as well). This definitively used to be different in earlier versions of the installer. Would it be hard to enhance the installer to fully support partitionable mds?
