Up to date packages on Debian
« on: January 04, 2019, 01:19:11 pm »
I have got some up to date packages on debain right now though a couple of different methods and thought other people would be interested in them, plus I am also interested in some more

Guix package manager "general packages" I used the Script chmod +x then run it  --- I have got Emacs arai2 qutebrowser "which has some bugs but still nice to have" etc... installed through this
Cargo -- "rust packages" run this command to install "curl -sSf https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup.sh | sh" -- I have got ripgrep and fd installed throgh this
Git from source -- dwm, emacs-git

Other Methods that i have looked at but haven't got around to trying/using
BedRock Linux To make a hybrid of debian and other linux distros like void linux
Changing the Debian version --- Broke on me when I tried:(

If you handle this this problem do you do it the same as me or some other method?

ps .. I am using doom emacs which is working much better because it is a keyboard focused environment witch fits perfectly with the Gemini

We are probably going to migrate to Debian Buster sooner or later, but in the meanwhile, I tried Bedrock Linux approach and can confirm it works on Gemini, same way as in this Reddit post.

init selection menu would not display as we lack framebuffer console, so it makes sense to set timeout to 0 in [init] section of /bedrock/etc/bedrock.conf.
