2020-11-14T04:54:14 #kisslinux <TAAPArthur> Do y'all find checksums helpful? I'm starting to view them in a negative light due to so many installations/upgrades failing with "Checksum mismatch"
2020-11-14T05:04:20 #kisslinux <midfavila> I think they're a good idea
2020-11-14T05:04:40 #kisslinux <midfavila> It's one of those things where it's not something that can be fully appreciated until you get screwed by not having them
2020-11-14T05:04:52 #kisslinux <mcpcpc[m]> ^
2020-11-14T05:04:52 #kisslinux <midfavila> but maybe an environment variable to temporarily disable them could be useful
2020-11-14T05:05:05 #kisslinux <midfavila> like KISS_NOSUM or something
2020-11-14T05:13:43 #kisslinux <TAAPArthur> Yeah that would be nice.
2020-11-14T05:14:59 #kisslinux <midfavila> honestly you could probably add it with like
2020-11-14T05:15:07 #kisslinux <midfavila> five lines of shell in the KISS script
2020-11-14T05:15:59 #kisslinux <midfavila> just like... an if statement that jumps over the section to verify the checksums or whatever
2020-11-14T05:32:52 #kisslinux <TAAPArthur> I agree it should be trivial to implement the env var to skip checksums
2020-11-14T05:34:52 #kisslinux <TAAPArthur> I worry that it just works around the underlying issue of what I presume is checksums not being update on source changes... but for my purpose it is sufficent
2020-11-14T10:44:40 #kisslinux <claudia02> o/
2020-11-14T10:45:49 #kisslinux <konimex> <TAAPArthur "I worry that it just works aroun"> ...isn't that the point of checksums? if the source is changed then the checksums should also be manually changed
2020-11-14T10:46:27 #kisslinux <claudia02> I wonder what changes 'Install KISS/Setup-Repositories' needs regarding to the latest questions on reddit. I think written pretty understandable when read all. Even with exmaple.
2020-11-14T10:50:19 #kisslinux <claudia02> Does anybody know if there is an alternative 'xclock' for wayland yet?
2020-11-14T10:54:59 #kisslinux <claudia02> Nvm, I found one https://github.com/Leon-Plickat/wlclock
2020-11-14T10:58:48 #kisslinux <soliwilos> As an alternative you could use tty-clock.
2020-11-14T11:03:09 #kisslinux <claudia02> I will check that out, thanks. I would like to have this nice 'catclock' but this seems to not be done yet.
2020-11-14T20:27:37 #kisslinux <TAAPArthur> konimex I'm thinking of the case where versions/sources were updated manually but the maintainer forgot to update the checksums. I assumed that was what was happening when I was experiencing the official repos having out-dated checksums.
