Enjoy your systemd botnet

Debian's implementation of systemd is pretty nice. Text logs enabled, sysvinit compatibility, etc.

>being so boring that you're excited for a minor incremental update of your 3 year old operating system

oh wow, now it's like.... 2 years old now!

>being this bitter that you have no friends to invite / invite you to a realease icecream social

>>Who else /hyped/ ?
me

Anyone going to a release party? My country's is too far away.

I haven't used debian in so long.

>implying you can't remove systemd and use sysvinit
>implying anyone concerned about that wouldn't already know how to do it and remove it anyway

Uh...
I should replace my arch linux for things like this...
There's nothing to wait...

RIP

>arch

>being this pretentious

Why haven't you upgraded already?

>Minecraft

this

If I download stretch now will it be the same as the version "released" today?

Shut up!!!
I want to find friends

fpbp

rip ian

daily reminder it was some asshole on Sup Forums who told him to kill himself a few hours before he died

probably a fedora shill

Who?

Ian Murdock, the guy who started Debian in 1991
see

1993*
Got year confused with Linux kernel

don't be foolish
CIA niggers killed him because he refused to make debian botnet
check the date of debian's transition to systemd and his death
yeah

he didn't have anything to do with debian for decades though

What happens of I have Debian Jessie? Will the next update make it go from Debian 8 to Debian 9 so I keep having stable, or will it keep being 8 and I'll suddenly be on oldstable?

Is summer already? Tell us why it's a botnet and post specific parts of sourcecode as proof.

You need to upgrade and hope it fucking works, as if I haven't enough stress already

this may help
linuxconfig.org/how-to-upgrade-debian-8-jessie-to-debian-9-stretch

I'm already using it! ;D

jessie to stretch is seamless

debian.org/releases/stretch/amd64/release-notes/index.en.html
I don't know about wheezy to stretch however

does nobody notice the sheer incompetency of that fucking poettering idiot?
he did the exact same shit with pulseaudio

it's great as long as it works, but the second you need to fix something or want to configure it differently you are FUCKED

Thanks, but that guide is months old and doesn't cover what I was asking. That guide is about upgrading from stable to a newer one, but what's happening now is that the newer one will become the new stable, so I was under the impression that if I installed Debian Stable it will always be Debian Stable; I could run it 20 years and it will always be Debian Stable because it would upgrade accordingly. If that's not the case then what would be the point of a Stable/Unstable scheme instead of a release-number scheme? Am I wrong?

>jessie to stretch is seamless
I'm on PowerPC. Are you sure?

I dont have to wait anything because I use Arch Linux. Everything is always up to date and it just works :^)

>jessie to stretch is seamless
SO I just edit my sources.list to stretch, do an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade and that should do it?

more like it just breaks and you'll have to spend the whole day glueing your shit back together

spotted the brainlet that couldnt install arch
its ok brainlet, just keep using your entry level noob distros like debian :^)

yes
you should have backups anyway just in case

Your sources.list should already be set to stable if you want to always be on stable. Then as soon stretch becomes stable you can dist-upgrade without bothering to change your sources.list

well aren't you smart, copying command lines from the arch wiki just to feel superior

>implying im not using the ncurses based UI installer from the archboot iso
one step ahead of you pleb

Could you give me an example how I change this to stable?

#deb debian.mirrors.ovh.net/debian/ jessie main
#deb-src debian.mirrors.ovh.net/debian/ jessie main

deb security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main
deb-src security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main

# jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb debian.mirrors.ovh.net/debian/ jessie-updates main
deb-src debian.mirrors.ovh.net/debian/ jessie-updates main

# jessie-backports, previously on backports.debian.org
deb debian.mirrors.ovh.net/debian/ jessie-backports main
deb-src debian.mirrors.ovh.net/debian/ jessie-backports main

deb debian.mirrors.ovh.net/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src debian.mirrors.ovh.net/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

you'd need an ncurses based installer for every package to be as efficient as Debian

What panel is that?

cat /etc/apt/sources.list | sed 's/jessie/stable/g' > /etc/apt/sources.list

true, every arch package would need an ncurses UI added to reach the size and performance of debian packages.

>enjoy your systemd botnet
>uses windows

Do yourself a favor

deb us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie main contrib
deb-src us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie main

# jessie-security, previously known as 'volatile'
deb us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-security main non-free contrib
deb-src us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-security main non-free

Replace every instance of "jessie" in that file with "stable"

I just found out that they name their releases after Toy Story characters.

I guess it's more important to save your idle i7 a few cycles than working on something more productive than editing config files

the dev packages and robustness of arch is why I have an i7 and you have a pentium.

>being exited for sjwan
>being excited for systemd
>/hyped/

And they say summerfags don't exist

>Le ebin sjwbian maymay

>sjw

elaborate?

>systemd

see:

I have been using Stretch for a long time and it just works. Nothing really to be hyped about, it's only just going to become the new "stable" now

which i7 is 0.001% faster than a Pentium?

also laughed at robustness

just ask someone to help you install arch and see for yourself, in arch you get all the headers included with packages and only security patches done so packages arent altered

for ex elixir language is broken on debian because erlang has been broken into non-functional parts, while on arch is flawless. debian people fuck up packages in the name of being different or whatever. thats why I prefer arch, I want my apps to work

You must be great fun at parties

just install cloveros faggots

Amada is cute!

I don't go to parties and if I would I don't believe the version of the operating system I am using becoming officially stable is worth hyping and a great topic of discussion when it has been working fine for a long time, specifically when it got frozen that it hasn't gotten other than bugfixes anyway for a long time, unless of course if the other people are interested in Debian too. It has been working great for a long time and tomorrow its "stable" officially, what is there to be hyped about?

When will next devuan get released?

i love you man

s-shut up

I only know Debian always feel comfy like I'm back at home.

>being excited by sjwan
>doesn't even read the sjwan news
>samefag to defend his arguments

Keep it going though, it's fun

>I don't know about wheezy to stretch however
You can't do that directly, (or at least it might not work properly if you try) but you can do wheezy -> jessie and then jessie -> stretch.

So you can't elaborate then? You've presented literally zero argument.

Who the fuck is named stretch?

It's the octopus from toy story 3

feeling bretty edgy

So you chose to ignore my posts and my answers, and not answer to my questions m? Typical sjwfag, I can't say I didn't saw it coming.

Black Widow

who's amanda? i'm sorry, i don't know any waifus.

KEK

Why? A dist-upgrade isn't going to wipe your hard drive or something. At worst, it's going to break a package or two that you'll have to manually fix.

we need debian release party qt14s!!

:3

>girl
Eww..

so comfy.

>being this edgy

that's a cute pic

>So you chose to ignore my posts and my answers

You've answered nothing. Stop projecting.

we need more pale geeky debian waifus

who has the debian birthday party pic

Kill yourself commie cucks

I think she needs a little xfce mouse buddy too!

Why would you use stable instead of testing on a desktop? I'm a debian (testing) user as well, and I have used stable on different pkatforms, so I'm not just spouting the "debian is outdated" meme.

this isnt bsd general

we dont allow apple/sony(ps4)/nintendo(switch) to use our kernel without providing upstream support

>Not using MIT license
Stay cucked

It's ironic they call it testing,
considering how stable it's been these last 4 years.

Hopefully soon.

Because it's stable, duh
Testing is not meant for daily use. Of course, testing is still really stable and likely won't break but I like things to be as secure as possible.

Is PC BSD better than Free BSD as a desktop os

>party rockin' in the house tonight

Reminder that MIT is freedom and GPL is cuckoldry.

wallpaper?

>suggests cuck license in a GNU GPL thread

you are getting desperate
