While I am a bit surprised at your conclusion

I'm not sure I made a conclusion 

..but if I were to make a suggestion it would be:

x86: stick with x11 only
x86_64: not sure
armhf/aarch64: move to wayland only

5.x/x86_64/tcz/src/wbar/wbar-2.3.0-3.txz  is a link to  4.x/x86/tcz/src/wbar/wbar-2.3.0-3.txz
which is no longer on the server.

Ah - I guess that'll teach me to look on the server rather than the web site

Hi edmazing
If you want to compile natively on Tinycore, you need to install  compiletc.tcz.

Hi Juanito
Actually, it's not.
5.x/x86_64/tcz/src/wbar/wbar-2.3.0-3.txz  is a link to  4.x/x86/tcz/src/wbar/wbar-2.3.0-3.txz
which is no longer on the server. I'll upload a copy from my backup.

TCE Talk / Re: piCore64 mksquashfs -b 16384 I get 4096 [SOLVED]

Hi repeat
OK, I just looked at the latest submitqc and you are correct.

For anyone else that runs into this, the syntax for 16K is:

Code: [Select]

--blocksize=16384
Although  mksquashfs  will also accept  16K , that will fail with  submitqc.
--blocksize=  must be specified in bytes, not  Kbytes  or  Mbytes.

sorry.. my issue was with submitqc unstable release 20241219

Have to add the --blocksize or converts back to 4096.

gutmensch accepted my build of rsgain after I figured that out and a few other niggles.

The decision to be taken is perhaps not deciding between x11 and XLibre, but rather deciding between x11/XLibre and wayland.

Hi Juanito. Thank you very much for this detailed description of the state of affairs. While I am a bit surprised at your conclusion, I trust your judgment and experience. TCL will continue to shine in the future, with whatever extensions are available.

At the risk of digressing into an ode to TCL, TCL might be the only suckless distro that can actually be configured into a daily driver. Wherever TCL goes I will happily follow.
