Barry Kauler ☛ Thinking how to manage the Void rolling release model
I posted yesterday about liking how easyVoid has turned out:
https://bkhome.org/news/202401/easyvoid-is-looking-good.html
...Flapi, the Flatpak manager, is now working, and various other issues fixed, so now looking even better.
Version 6.0 will probably be released this weekend, but I have been thinking of strategies to play nicely with the Void rolling-release model. If you were to install Void itself, then there are no future release numbers; you just keep syncing with the latest packages. EasyVoid could do the same thing.
The "update" icon on the desktop could work in a new way. Clicking on it, could download the latest packages from the Void repository, and build new 'easy.sfs' and 'devx.sfs' files. There would then be a version-update based on these files.
What this would mean is that easyVoid users can update on their own. They will not have to wait for me to release a new version of easyVoid. Although I will be releasing version 6.0, after that the version numbers will be by date, in format year-month-day, for example 240318.
