• What's new in debian-junior 1.31? Desktop Environment!

    From Stefan Kropp@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 28 09:30:01 2023
    Hello all,

    debian-junior 1.31 has been uploaded to Debian unstable. \o/

    I added a new task for Debian Jr. called "junior-desktop" [1]
    The goal of this meta package is to provide an Debian Jr. Desktop
    Environment.

    I was able to test this task in a VM. I installed a minimal
    Debian System and installed junior-desktop from sid. After reboot
    I got the login screen (lightdm) + IceWM as Window Manager + a
    set of applications and games. Disk space: ~8 GB

    .( o ).

    One of the next steps is to provide configuration files. Debian
    Jr. Desktop should look like [2].

    In the meantime I was able to make some experiences with a new
    blend project [3]. I think I will started to work on a new
    package "junior-desktop-config to deliver configuration files and
    scripts to setup a Environment.

    I will also try to get a live image build based on the new
    junior-desktop metapackage. I think it will help a lot to try and
    also test Debian Jr.
