Recap: 3/12/15 Tonight we got together. Sergio tested on Debian - the gui did not load. Also, Users must know that the GUI is not a standalone product. This needs to be installed after respin. It looks for respin as a dependency.

Debian was not working for GUI.

The first attempt showed a need for remastersys depend.

DEPENDS="gparted, xterm, yad, read-edid, xresprobe, remastersys (>= 3.0.0)" FIXED

Next attempt my aicra shows

root@debian:/home/aicra/Documents# dpkg -i respindeb-gui_1.0.0-1_all.deb (Reading database …​ 144378 files and directories currently installed.)

Preparing to replace respindeb-gui 1.0.0-1 (using respindeb-gui_1.0.0-1_all.deb) …​

Package yad is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

E: Package 'yad' has no installation candidate

GOT YAD?

Next steps - Get respin-gui to work on debian.

Sidenote: adrenaline was in the garage packing for the weekend. Sergio was excited about going to cactuscon. aicra sad about the state of cc…​ Don is not active. Not an effective PM. Possible restructure?
