xlockmore in Crunchbang?

This is my all time fav screensaver in Linux. I can't locate it in the crunchbang repos. Any alternatives?

Thanks!

isn't a bad practice to install orphan debs? what happens to dependencies, libraries etc.. I want to run a very stable system.. should I go through the dpkg -i mess?

Thanks. How do I add this? Will this get mixed with the other repos? Don't want to get any other kernel images. libs etc. just xlock!

Is it this one ->

deb http://daveserver.dyndns-web.com/antix-repo wheezy main contrib non-free

But I'm on stable (backports), should I add a testing repo? I just need xlockmore, but I don't want to pull any libs from the testing branch..

# antiX
deb http://www.daveserver.info/antiX/debs testing main

should do it.

Then uncomment after.

IIRC one old lib will be installed with it that shouldn't cause any issues. I run with Debian Sid repos.

Installed fine but it doesnt work properly it gets blank when running xlock.. same thing happens with slock. Could this be related with uninstalling xscreensaver? I did autoremove xscreensaver, not sure if it uninstalled any related libs?

lol, there used to be several screensavers, or where those inherited from xscreensaver?

Re: xlockmore in Crunchbang?

The screensavers were in xlockmore-gl.

Also, bad news, is that xlockmore is no longer in Sid and I just tried rebuilding it without success.

Does that mean, xlockmore not anymore supported and scheduled for a debian release?

Re: xlockmore in Crunchbang?

With screensavers I don't know. There is slock and i3lock, but they don't have screensavers.
