chrisdebian Hi, all. As Solus and Serpent converge, it's possible that I will switch from PopOS, as my 'daily driver'. Can anyone share a link to the packages currently available in the distro; I did check Repology, but would rather go to the primary list. Can anyone share the packaging guide we should use, if we want to bring new software into the repos? Cheers, Chris.
alfisya chrisdebian Can anyone share a link to the packages currently available in the distro; I did check Repology, but would rather go to the primary list. The easiest way is to just boot to live CD on VM and browse away via eopkg or "Software Center" . chrisdebian Can anyone share the packaging guide we should use, if we want to bring new software into the repos? Help Center right now available on github. It might become available on the website again sometime in the future.
Staudey chrisdebian A simple list of packages can be found in our "common" repository here: https://dev.getsol.us/source/common/browse/master/packages Note that this only lists package recipe repositories, so if a recipe builds several packages this will not be reflected here. Still good enough for a basic overview.
chrisdebian alfisya Many thanks, I'm not at home at the moment, so I'll have another look at Repology. Cheers, Chris
chrisdebian Staudey Thank you, I'll have a look at the link. Am I right in thinking that packages will be based on Moss, when Solus converges with Serpent OS? Chris
Staudey chrisdebian Yes, when/after the merge with Serpent happens the Solus packages will be in the .stone format that moss handles, instead of .eopkg
davidjharder @chrisdebian to see serpent current serpent packages you would look at https://github.com/snekpit/main For instance, nano: https://github.com/snekpit/main/blob/main/console/nano/stone.yml A few things to know: If you want to try serpent packaging you need https://github.com/serpent-os/onboarding Serpent is organized as a mono-repo: one big repo holding everything; organized with directories. Solus uses one repo per package The stone.yaml format will look very familiar, but it is not identical Serpent doesn't have help docs yets, we've been chucking it all on the forum: https://forums.serpentos.com/d/55-packaging-guidelines-draft/4
chrisdebian davidjharder Thank you, that's helpful; I'll have a look at the links. Cheers, Chris chris_debian
