Re: [Dng] Device management [WAS: system scriptinng language.]

Hi Enrico, ACLs act as whitelists that additionally let vdev equivocate about device nodes to different processes, based on the user, group, process information (PID, inode, binary path, SHA256), and requested device file. Let's work through a few examples. Consider the following ACL, which hide

I think this whole CLI - GUI thing causes a lot more polarization than it should. There are I'm sure a lot of people like myself who use the linux desktop day to day, have no problem dealing with the command line or administering a few boxes. A lot of desktop users are long term geeks, nerds an

I'm an end user, mainly using Mint LMDE. I've been testing Jessie and was disappointed to find the numerous bugs in systemd. Also the way so many apps were dependent on Gnome and vice versa. I would favour "get Devuan up and running with DEs/WMs" and offer optional desktops later (preferably Ci

2014-12-28 Thread Jude Nelson
I see vdev as more of a medium/long-term solution. I'd create a libudev-compat library that implemented the udev API, but I'd structure vdev to expose the same information via the filesystem (so libudev-compat would just perform the requisite filesystem queries for legacy applications). Jude On D

I'm totally against the concept of a Debian fork with init freedom but without DE freedom. IMHO, if we're *technically* able to deliever GNOME, we definitely should do that, even if the R&D costs are high. We should disinfect as many packages as possible, even if that means we provide a slightl

You can't just switch to vdev, because many packages depend on libudev. Only udev and eudev provide it. eudev is the only realistic option right now, because it's a drop-in replacement. Moreover, it's the only udev alternative with feature-parity. By the way, I'm not sure whether vdev is ready
