  I want to spearhead an effort for better documentation in the projects of LL
Posted by: AdrianKoshka - 04-14-2016, 03:44 AM - Forum: Linux Lite Software Development - Replies (1)

As many of you probably saw in my brash, somewhat inflammatory first post on the forums, I had some personal issues in regards to the documentation of applications and projects run by LL. I guess it all started when ShaggyTwoDope had me help him fix up some markdown for lite-update https://github.com/linuxlite/lite-updater. Shaggy had a wonderful foundation of a README.md file, and I helped him spruce it up a little, and even since then he's made it even better (e.g. travis-ci integration). I want to start real simple, and just spruce up the README files for the various github repos of linux lite, using lite-updaters' readme file as a sort of template. The readme is rather simple to understand, brief, but has enough information. e.g.

  • Project name (with travis-ci shield)
  • Brief Description
  • Some nice screenshots
  • Depends list (bulleted)
  • Authors list (bulleted and alphabetical)
  • Credits section (bulleted and alphabetical)

This will help LL developers (present and future), because they'll have a short, but concise description of each project, instead of having to go through code and see what is used.

Alongside a standardized template for readme files, I feel a simple changelog would be a nice addition (though to be honest, this is what tags are for in git). So developers could keep track of ongoing changes, lite-updater so happens to also have a very nice, simplistic example of a changelog template, made up my ShaggyTwoDope.

As far as the lite-manual goes...I really don't want to tackle that as of right now.

  Grub editor needed
Posted by: rogeerh - 04-13-2016, 02:09 AM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (19)

Hi;

I need a grub editor. I saw a sudo command that was supposed to do it but gedit was not found.
Editing the grub file didn't work.
Any ideas? I installed Linux Lite specifically for this, to dual boot Between Win10 and XP

  My problems with Linux Lite so far, a brief summary of problems Linux Lite has.
Posted by: AdrianKoshka - 04-12-2016, 05:32 AM - Forum: Linux Lite Software Development - Replies (30)

If you to read want my secret gist I put on gist.github.com that I wrote in markdown click the link https://gist.github.com/AdrianKoshka/d25...e37b72f6e8
Otherwise this will pretty much be a reiteration of my gist post.

Through the short time I've been helping a community member with his projects I've seen a little bit of the development process of Linux Lite...and to be honest it terrifies me. This will serve as a brief overview of what I find wrong with the Linux Lite Development Model.

Linux Lite Issues

This document will serve to hopefully compile all issues I see with various projects done by Linux Lite. I feel this is a better way to do things as the current system is not oriented towards teamwork (the lack of a github organization really needs to be fixed, no offense).

Documentation

Documentation is severely lacking in Linux lite, and the manual is--not the best either. I don't say these accusations though without providing suggestions, also I've started my own person rewrite of the Linux Lite Manual in gitbook, which can be found here https://www.gitbook.com/book/adriankoshk...al/details It's a WIP.

Github Organization

NOTE: DON'T GET BUTTHURT READING THIS, KEEP YOUR COOL, I'M BEING SERIOUS

To give proper credit to authors, whether it be for documentation, code, etc a github organization NEEDS to be setup. This hacky method of keeping a distributions projects under a user account is simply not acceptable. Some reasons this isn't accept are:

  • It makes it look like authors have COPIED their ORIGINAL works!
  • It doesn't foster a sense of community.
  • It makes it harder for people who want to help contribute.
  • It slows down progress.

that is just a short list of reasons why. A github organization will allow for Linux Lite to grow faster, for reasons such as:
  • The community has more involvement.
  • More people can take time to fix things.
  • More work can be done independently
  • More issues can be addressed
  • A smoother work flow can be achieved.
  • Less overhead.

Things That NEED fixing

These applications at this point don't have what I feel would meet minimum documentation requirements.

Minimum "Documentation" Requirements for README.md

You may see this and say "woah! That's a majority of the repos in your list!" and sadly this is true. Though I have very basic requirements for the README.md file of all repos.
  • A short description of the applications' function.
  • A screenshot or two, depends on what the application is I suppose.
  • A list of Depends
  • there is no arguing here, it'll make the job of future devs easier!
  • An Alphabetically sorted, bulleted list of authors.
  • Credits

for an example of this, see the lite-updater repo. https://github.com/linuxlite/lite-updater

Belongs somewhere ELSE

A list of repos/software that is not in the "correct" location.

Clean up "Abandonware"

This section is for stuff I don't know whether LL uses anymore, that should be cleaned up.

  Slimjet Browser
Posted by: newtusmaximus - 04-09-2016, 04:16 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (2)

Trying out Slimjet browser as mentioned elsewhere by  Bugfree.
Can't see to get pepperflash nonfree 32 bit installed - No BBC Iplayer function.
Any ideas - is pepperflashfree dead now with Chrome 32bit?

Looking in Synaptic for slimjet  properties - installed files
/opt/slimjet/PepperFlash
/opt/slimjet/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
/opt/slimjet/PepperFlash/manifest.json
are present.
But under slimjet://plugins  pepperFlash does not appear??
what am I missing? Tks

All I see is
[table][tr][td][table][tr][td][color=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Adobe Flash Player - Version: 21.0.0.197Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0[/color][/td][/tr][/table][/td][/tr][/table]
Which are disabled.

UPDATE
http://www.slimjet.com/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=903

[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]• quote="flashpeak" There is actually one catch about 32-bit linux. We wouldn't be able to continue provide flash updates to the 32-bit version of Slimjet for linux. Originally, we just grabbed it from the Chrome package. After Chrome dropped 32-bit linux support, we will have no source of flash updates for linux. Sorry, guys.[/color]
