So I live in the country now and don’t have access to broadband at home. I either do everything on my phone or use my phone’s hotspot – which, while generous, is still limited. This has been getting in my way as far as development on Gentoo Studio goes. But I’m not okay with this,…
How to maximize clarity in podcasts
I use bilateral cochlear implants (Advanced Bionic Marvel M-90’s). This puts me in the category of podcast listeners with differently-abled hearing. As such, I notice when the voices of hosts and guests aren’t as clear as they could possibly be. It’s actually not hard to get there, even if you’re nowhere near being an audio…
Gentoo Studio shall not die
Yeah. I appreciate the friends I have in the Gentoo community. Why let the unhappy devs of Gentoo dictate what I do? Gentoo Studio shall live. I’m motivated now to expand it. So… Stay tuned for updates as they happen.
RIP Gentoo Studio – or not?
(Update: I may continue with Gentoo Studio. Talking with a few good folks on #gentoostudio got me thinking maybe I’ll take a break and get back to it. It seems Gentoo devs are well-known to be not very nice, and that there’s at least one Big Cheese at Gentoo who sympathizes and wants Gentoo Studio…
July 2023 Update
Just noting a few changes. Added links to the package names in the app list on the home page. This is done by a script, so if the “Homepage” line of the package metadata contains more than one URL, the link won’t work correctly. I’ll work this out eventually. Musescore and Frescobaldi have been removed…
Catalyst automation v.1
So this is version 1 of the new script to automate catalyst builds. There is a catalyst-auto from gentoo-releng, but 1. my needs for this purpose are much simpler than what catalyst-auto provides and 2. writing this script is proving to be fun. As always, suggestions welcome. #!/bin/sh ### VARS url=”https://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/” txtfile=”latest-stage3-amd64-desktop-systemd.txt” email=”webmaster@gentoostudio.org” ### ERROR…
New code for tarball automation
Today I jotted down some fresh code for tarball automation. The needs of such automation are so simple it made sense to write it in bash. I thought I’d share it here. Suggestions are always welcome. #!/bin/sh ### PART 1: UPDATE SEED # Get text file describing latest stage3 tarball. # -O option circumvents wget…
Progress report
While things are not completely back in action yet, I have gotten things where I want them on a local dev machine and uploaded an updated stage4 tarball. It has been repeatedly tested using both the manual and automatic install methods. My test install machine is a VM, so I may not have covered all…
Development Renews
After a year or so of not being able to stay on top of things due to a major transition in life, I’m now renewing my efforts to maintain Gentoo Studio. Currently, the stage4 tarball is in flux as I work things out and make improvements. If you find any issues, please let me know…
