Right, so ostrolk is using the version from GitHub. As I explained earlier in this thread, we won't be installing 3rd-party binaries in the ISO by default. This can go in a "Things to do after installing BunsenLabs Hydrogen" HowTo, though, which we'll draw up after the "official" ISO gets released.
Well, BunsenLabs also started in GitHub, and the 'bunsen-updates' come through GitHub, so why not take other people's updates from GitHub?

Asked and answered.

There is nothing stopping you from risking your system with other sources of applications, but don't expect BunsenLabs to do it.

@ostrolk
BunsenLabs started as a pure Debian 8 Netinstall then running a "scripts" to make BunsenLabs from GitHub, not binaries.
And the Bunsen updates are: "scripts", not binaries.

As hhh said:

this is a decision agreed on by the dev's. It is the way BunsenLabs will be built.

Official will happen when it is ready.

EDIT: I didn't see damo's reply.

Risking?
Since, I am using Linux distros, risking is the way of life. I have Jessie, Stretch, Ubuntu and Arch Openbox installs with different type of scripts--eye-candy tweaks--working in them. Arch is the bleeding edge OS. If volumeicon 0.5.1 is there, why can't it be in my Debian install? So, I installed it, and it works. Actually, if you ask any question concerning Linux stuff, usually an Arch forum or wiki page is in the first place in Uncle Google. Earlier, I mostly used Ubuntu, then Debian & Ubuntu, and now Arch. My Arch install pretty much look like the old Crunchbang. I like the simplicity of the menu, but I changed the themes. (http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=40106&p=4 #81 that was at that time.)

By the way, is it a binary that you see here; https://github.com/Maato/volumeicon ?

Um, I don't think that is my role, but what they say is perfectly clear and right - they want to make most safe and good working distro possible with control over all of its elements and without mixing elements from elsewhere. Also they don't want to give us any time of distro releasing info because they want to work when they can, without stress and without irritating explaining why they have time issues, if something will be wrong. Why pushing and asking unwanted questions? I don't think it is the right thing to do if decisions are already made and they are good ones.

Confirmed: you do not know what you are talking about. Also, please read up on the differences between Debian and Arch Linux, or differences between Linux distro's in general. Here's what your top results in Uncle Google have to say about it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … NU.2FLinux

Well?
Does it prove that volumeicon version 0.4.6-2.1. or 0.4.6-2.2 is better than version 0.5.1, just because it is not available in jessie or sid? Isn't all of them done by the same guy? It is in Arch, Fedora, Gentoo, OpenSuse, Slackware. You might also look here about Volumeicon. https://packages.qa.debian.org/v/volumeicon.html Debian maintainers know about the version 0.5.1

My screenshot http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic. … 047&p=2#26 is Debian jessie.

I didn't ask you to drop volti. That was OP.
My question was if alsa, pulseauido, pavucontrol and volumeicon enough or not.

Sure, no problem with that. Just have a look here; http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=39656&p=6 post#134. That was made from Ubuntu.

nobody said you can't compile it yourself and use it.
and probably it is really better than the version in the debian stable repos.
but bunsen will rely on the debian stable repos - it will not use other binaries. only scripts.
that said, you could write a pipemenu for compiling and installing various github repos, then ask for it to be included in bl(*)?

since you brought up uncle google, let me bring up uncle duck instead.

(*) correction:
this will most probably not happen, because dependency hell is predictable.
