**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Dec 14 02:59:57 2019 Dec 14 05:31:41 As already discussed, Windows 8.1 and earlier use a stable release model but Windows 10 uses a semi-rolling release model. Dec 14 10:37:26 Hey guys, wondering if someone can help me out. One of my nokia n900's died so I moved to a backup. Had upgrade the firmware on the backup nokia n900. But I can't seem to install aptitude (no package) nor man. Am I missing something? Dec 14 10:37:54 you shouldnt use aptitude/apt-get directly Dec 14 10:38:50 huh, is there a command line version of the application manager I can use? Sometimes it's just faster to use the command line. Dec 14 10:38:54 and i think man is also not available due to space reasons Dec 14 10:39:03 well, you can use apt-get Dec 14 10:39:08 if you know what you are doing Dec 14 10:39:48 I know man did exist at one point. Dec 14 10:40:03 and while apt-get is good, you can't search packages with it. Dec 14 10:40:21 maybe you were using easydebian? Dec 14 10:40:29 you can use apt-cache search Dec 14 10:40:32 for searching Dec 14 10:40:55 ahh, right >.< forgot. thank you. Dec 14 10:40:59 for man, install `man-db-n900/man-db-pages` Dec 14 10:41:42 sicelo: which repo is that in? Dec 14 10:42:34 standard repo Dec 14 10:42:57 http://repository.maemo.org/extras/pool/fremantle/free/m/ doesn't say it's there. Dec 14 10:43:37 ahh, devtolls Dec 14 10:43:41 *devtools Dec 14 10:44:50 * sleepingkirby also double checks to see if he installed easydebian way back and forgot about it. Dec 14 10:50:44 definitely didn't do easy debian... Dec 14 10:51:29 ahh, it was man-db and enhanced busy box. Thank you much guys ^^/ Dec 14 11:18:03 wanted to say thank you once again. All the packages that I thought were missing were in extras-devel >.< Dec 14 12:01:14 yw Dec 14 12:43:19 ~speedyham Dec 14 12:43:20 from memory, speedyham is 30 times faster than HAM https://github.com/community-ssu/hildon-application-manager, now included in ~CSSU replacing the original Hildon application Manager there Dec 14 12:43:50 ~ham Dec 14 12:43:51 methinks ham is Hildon Application Manager. Slow as molasses. Anticipate you got time for a beer or two until it finishes whatever it does, or see ~speedyham Dec 14 12:56:14 30 times is about right to. Dec 14 17:37:10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BeTq99LqUo Dec 14 17:37:11 :> Dec 14 20:23:40 holy... Dec 14 21:36:55 I decided to try to answer my own question I had asked this channel a while ago, which was if the Linux kernel is still developed for the m68k architecture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux-supported_computer_architectures#Releases , which I just edited but not about m68k, implies that the answer is yes but http://www.linux-m68k.org/ is a literal cobWeb site: apparently the home page was last modified almost ***two decades ago***. So, if Linux Dec 14 21:36:55 for m68k development or even only maintenance is still active then this Web site very badly needs to be updated because Linux for m68k appears to be dead judging by this Web site. Dec 14 21:41:47 Or my question may have been if the mainline Linux kernel still supports the m68k architecture? Yes, this question is a metaquestion. Dec 14 22:41:53 That linux-m68k presumably refers to a historical fork of Linux. m68k support is in mainline now. Dec 14 22:42:37 afaict, there is still support for m68k in mainline, though I've never used it. Dec 14 22:43:45 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commits/master/arch/m68k Dec 14 23:08:21 Maxdamantus: Interesting. Thank you. Now the situation seems to make sense. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Dec 15 02:59:57 2019
