next version crunchbang ?

ericd13 · 2014-12-31 11:08:33

I'm trying to know if there will be a new crunchbang with the new stable debian version.
Not a lot of rumors here

vic · 2014-12-31 11:13:15

When ready.

nore · 2014-12-31 11:14:22

Read through Ideas for Janice (only 90 pages). Post further questions there after reading.

pvsage · 2014-12-31 11:21:46

if ${debian[stable]}=jessie
then crunchbang[stable]=janice
else crunchbang[stable]=waldorf
fi

...assuming corenominal has something janice-like based on jessie for us to share in.
(OK, I'm the first to admit that my understanding of bash arrays sucks almost as badly as my grammar. You get the gist though.)

From Larry The #! Guy: Simply put, silence is golden

Good read, the last two paragraphs read:

Larry The #! Guy wrote in his blog:
But he did say that a.) there will be a CrunchBang 12 Janice, b.) as of yet there are no betas of Janice or anything like that out there, and c.) he will be making an announcement soon on the status of Janice, so keep an eye out for it.
Simply put, there will be news when there is some to report. Meanwhile, keep CrunchBanging, folks.

Actually that is quite doable ... with an hour or so into the Bash Manual ... ta daaaa
cbwj.sh

#!/bin/bash

debr="lsb_release -cs"
release=`eval $debr`
echo
echo "Checking Debian version"
echo
if [ $release = "wheezy" ]
 then
   echo "   Debian is wheezy"
   echo "      therefore"
   echo " CrunchBang is waldorf"
 else
   echo "   Debian is jessie"
   echo "      therefore"
   echo " CrunchBang is janice"
 fi
echo
echo "Checking CrunchBang version"
echo
cbr="cat /etc/issue|cut -c18-25"
release=`eval $cbr`
if [ $release = "waldorf" ]
 then
   echo " CrunchBang is waldorf"
   echo "      therefore"
   echo "   Debian is wheezy"
 else
   echo " CrunchBang is janice"
   echo "      therefore"
   echo "   Debian is jessie"
 fi
exit

Some could have done that in their sleep or totally hungover through bloodshot blurry eyes, but for me it was a major accomplishment!

Checking Debian version

   Debian is wheezy
      therefore
 CrunchBang is waldorf

Checking CrunchBang version

 CrunchBang is waldorf
      therefore
   Debian is wheezy

^ +1 looks nice!
but if you put it that way, what about all the people using "animal"?

Seasonal reference to Stable, and different versions of Animal :8

@ damo ... yea that bird's in the wrong place. Good one.

lab-release will straighten itself out in time.

That bash script was only an exercise for me to get something working that I've never done before. A learning exercise if you will. Please, do not take the outcome as gospel.

In the mean time if you are really concerned that jessie or sid isn't showing properly in lsb_release cheat.

^ One-liners to dist-upgrade? Mindblown.

Btw, sed -i.bak creates a backup by itself.

"waldrof" ???

And good luck trying this if you don't do something about the crunchbang repos.

Sector11 · 2015-01-01 12:33:27

Actually the CrunchBang repo for janice is there - just not populated yet so it shouldn’t cause any problem.

http://packages.crunchbang.org/

However going to sid would require a way to rename the line(s), if both are in use:

deb http://packages.crunchbang.org/waldorf waldorf main
deb-src http://packages.crunchbang.org/waldorf waldorf main

to

#deb http://packages.crunchbang.org/waldorf waldorf main
#deb-src http://packages.crunchbang.org/waldorf waldorf main

That's beyond my command line fu knowledge

and of course as you pointed out: change waldrof to waldorf in the command lines.

Still a really idea

damo · 2015-01-01 17:24:18

SRC_TEXT1="deb http://packages.crunchbang.org/waldorf waldorf main"
SRC_TEXT2="#deb http://packages.crunchbang.org/waldorf waldorf main"

sudo sed -i  "s|$SRC_TEXT1|$SRC_TEXT2|g" /etc/apt/sources.list

There is a more elegant way to add the "#", but I'm not getting it to work atm

Alad · 2015-01-01 18:41:26

sed -i.bak "s|^deb.*waldorf main$|#\1|g"

http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html#uh-4

But I still think this should be a manual process - so newbs have some idea instead of copy-pasting a one-liner.

I've done it twice actually, it uses early versions of Janice repos it looks like. I only had to restore the waldorf slim theme, and use fbpowermon I think it's called for a battery icon since xfce one doesn't want to work. Supports all the hardware on my chromebook ootb. Just bound some keys to adjust brightness and volume and mute and gtg.

^ I believe damo was simply pointing out a tyop typo.

@Damo: Obviously, the tyop is of little consequence in this case, as it serves only to save backup copies of the files.

I saw that, but I thought it worth mentioning in case it wasn't the only one in commands with major consequences O:)

Yeah, I found that out playing around with antiX. Supposedly the XFCE devs consider that an enhancement.

Thanks for the fbpowermon mention. I'll have to check that out.

Alad · 2015-01-04 22:44:54

^ Next time the GNOME guy asks, "who's XFCE", you can tell him: "I'm sure you'll like him, he likes to remove stuff" ]:D
