Hello

After taking the plunge and trying to build LinuxMCE after being a consumer for too long. One of the things I notice is the problem of keeping backward compatibility while working on newer Ubuntu branches.

Would it be feasible to add some branches in git like ubuntu-14.04, ubuntu-16.04, ubuntu-18.04 for example, to allow maintenance on these older Ubuntu versions without holding up current developments?

I know some things have do be done by conditionals in the code for each branch and there is the database to consider but some things in the code repo can only be done with another branch from what I can tell.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Cheers.

Developers / Trouble pushing to Gitlab in my userspace repo
« on: October 22, 2018, 04:33:36 am »
Hello

Sorry to be a pain.

I have made a test repo in my userspace on the Gitlab, I tried pushing a few test commits to it to see about getting started but  it looks like they are not showing up. The first two commits seemed to push fine from the command line but nothing is showing up when I look at the repo through Gitlab. I tried even making a commit through the web using Gitlab but the commit I made creating a new file did not complete saying the branch diverged. Do I need to commit on a branch other than master or something, or do I need elevated privileges - I am currently a Reporter.

Not sure what to do now any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Gav

Edit: The repo here should have two commits https://git.linuxmce.org/Gavlee/test
The reason I did a new repo and not a fork: I am in the middle of writing a wrapper around the buildscripts to try to make building LinuxMCE on foreign operating system easier. A new repo looks like the easiest and less invasive way to do it that is all.

Edit 2: The commits I made in the test repo are now visible, so thank you very much for the privilege and sorry for the bother.

Users / Hello LinuxMCE
« on: October 16, 2018, 12:03:14 pm »
Hello to all of LinuxMCE.

I've never been active in many forums but I thought I would introduce myself after being a happy LinuxMCE user for a long time.

I would like to say thank you to everyone who has made the project possible, I was blown away by the video all those years ago and have been hooked ever since.

I never had to post on the forum because I felt I didn't know enough about the project to provide any assistance, any problem I have ever had was easily fixed by searching the forum or wiki to find a solution, which has led me to learn a little about the system over time.

Anyway, thanks to all for such a great project. I am still blown away by what LinuxMCE can do even after ten years.

Cheers.
