Parabola GNU/Linux-libre: [nonsystemd] NetworkManager, dbus and display managers require manual intervention

We have recently began a repackaging of [nonsystemd] packages (see #3290). The displaymanager-openrc package has been removed and specific init scripts have been added for their respective display manager (e.g. sddm-openrc for sddm, gdm-openrc for gdm and so on with lxdm, xdm and lightdm)

Regarding NetworkManager and dbus, their nonsystemd builds used to ship with their corresponding OpenRC init scripts, but now they were separated into networkmanager-openrc and dbus-openrc. Please install these when upgrading those packages.

Android removes much of Fuchsia-related code as Starnix project progresses

Work on this Fuchsia project within Android — dubbed “device/google/fuchsia” — stalled in February 2021, with no public indication of how things were progressing. This week, all of the code for “device/google/fuchsia” was removed from Android, formally signaling the end of this particular avenue. In its place, we have a lone “TODO” message, suggesting that Google may be building up something new in its place. The developer responsible for the change primarily works on Fuchsia’s “Starnix” project. First shared in early 2021 as a proposal, Starnix is designed to make it possible for Fuchsia to “natively” run apps and libraries that were built for Linux or Android. To do this, Starnix would act to translate the low-level kernel instructions from what Linux expects to what Fuchsia’s Zircon kernel expects. Fuchsia is still very much in flux, and stuff like this further illustrates that while I firmly believe it’s the future of Google’s consumer operating system efforts, it’s still got a long way to go.

health @ Savannah: GNU Health project to implement REUSE compliance

The REUSE initiative[1] is a Free Software Foundation Europe program that facilitates the documentation of licenses of Libre projects like GNU Health.

After several meetings with our friends from FSFE, we have decided to implement REUSE in all GNUHealth components, that is:

  • Hospital Management System
  • MyGNUHealth Personal Health Record
  • Thalamus
  • GH Federation Portal

We believe that for large projects like GNUHealth, with multiple files of different kinds (code, graphics, data, ..) REUSE will be a great companion.
