MX-21 fluxbox beta 2 feedback thread

[siamhie]

Hello, repo bug?

MX updater showed me this all day :



Go to http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/pool/main/m/mx-docs/
See for mx-docs_20210925mx21_all.deb
Not Found

It will be released tomorrow. I mentioned it in post #116 (above yours).

I am sorry, can you explain? Why MX using fluxbox after all its not development anymore?

Because it's another option for those that want lighter desktop environments. Debian 11 ships with version 1.3.5-2 and Slackware will ship with 1.3.7 when they release version 15.

I received this message after I installed the git-all package from the repo. This happened on two or three other occasions but it looks like everything installed properly. Is there any concern to this message? (not all packages I've installed displayed this message)

I'm out of town so can't even read the error message, sorry.

looks like the git-all package downloads something maybe during install, but the message is an informational warning and I don't think an actual problem.

OK, thanks. I checked all the installation directories and everything was there from the install. The programs I installed with that message still function as normal.

Ok. But why if fluxbox is not supported by developers?

[Jerry3904]

Give it up. If you don't like it, don't use it. We like it.

And besides, development is not dead. Have you seen flaxx by developer the amazing Sébastien Ballet?
