An interesting #inxi moment: #Unit193, #Debian inxi packager, told me that #lintian tests had found a typo in the man page. I have no idea how something can go through a code marked up text file containing data and code samples, and determine what is and what is not a typo, yet there it did it, and it was right, a typo. It was however wrong to give an alert to the path /usr/etc or /usr/local/etc which is now, unfortunately, yet another standard. No idea why /etc/[app].d/[app].conf not enough.

@getajobmike #Unit193's solution to contributing to #freesoftware was becoming a #Debian / #Ubuntu packager, which is a thankless task, which is why I try to thank him now and then.

#damentz of #Liquorix / #ZenKernel's solution was to create that kernel project and run it for over decade.

Others run distros like #antiX, and support them. #mrmazda has supported #linux desktop users for ages.

I use specific names because supporting free software is the work of individuals dedicated to it.

@hanno I'm not sure where you got that idea since that's exactly what they do. I talk to #unit193 the #debian #ubuntu #inxi packager all the time and that's exactly what he does. I can double check with him if you want. Arch pacman packagers certainly pull from gitt then build. AUR is just direct live build scripts pilling from git. Rpm I don't follow but assume that's what they do. Unit193 has tracker script to alert on new tagged releases. I'll ask what he does now.

I don't know if #codeberg #forgejo #gitea added this, or if I just missed it, but finally was pointed to where I can add labels in a repo. Since I use labels a lot, this was a real issue for me, maybe the only major one I had found.

I wish I knew if I had just missed it initially, or if it's been added, but thanks to #unit193 (#debian/#ubuntu #inxi packager) for finding it.

repo issues tab: far left Labels, and inside there is add label button. Glad I didn't file issue on this since exists.

By the way, #unit193, the #inxi packager for #debian/#ubuntu, also packages #xfce, and he's going to release a livecd so we can test xfce 4.19 wayland support. I'll post a download url here once he has it ready.
