Nik,
Exegnu is designed to be pure devuan with TDE and a few other additions,
mostly as custom deb packages.. exegnu-userdefaults-trinity (description
incorrectly says jessie, its now for beowulf>) is the one which does
what it suggests (including skel configs)
root@vaio:/# dpkg -l|grep exegnu
ii exegnu-installer 3.0.3
all Installer for Exe GNU/Linux (Devuan with Trinity
Desktop Environment)
ii exegnu-keyring 1
all exegnulinux archive keyring
ii exegnu-oxygen-icons 3.0.0
all Oxygen Icon Theme for Trinity Desktop
ii exegnu-trinity-themes 3.0.3
all Exe GNU/Linux Ksplash and Wallpaper for Trinity Desktop
ii exegnu-userdefaults-trinity 3.0.3+1
all Exe GNU/Linux User Defaults for Debian/Devuan Jessie
with Trinity Desktop.
ii live-boot 1:20190614+exegnu1
all Live System Boot Components
ii live-boot-initramfs-tools 1:20190614+exegnu1
all Live System Boot Components (initramfs-tools backend)
ii pmount 0.9.99-alpha-1+exegnu1
amd64 mount removable devices as normal user
ii straw-viewer 0.0.3-2~exegnu1
all Search, stream and download YouTube content.
live-config-trinity is the other one, this sets the live-config
functions for TDE (for a live system), which is unsupported in the
mainstream.
The rest are packages not available elsewhere or rebuilds with extra
functionality and none are essential.
BTW Exegnu is built from a clean bootstrap and isn't actually
Refracta-based. Although I have been involved also with Refracta and of
course include some of the excellent Refracta tools in exegnu.
Cheers,

Thank you for the explanation. I managed to customize exegnu. Right now I'm stuck at
the exegnu-installer :)
This is what I've done:
- changed /lib/live/config/0050-locales and /lib/live/config/1066-trinity-lang to default
to de_DE (insted of en_US).
- PREEMPT-RT kernel
- LinuxCNC + html docs + smictrl + KiCad ...
- TDE configured to my needs
- removed the content of /etc/exegnu/skel (all the relevant settings are in ~user)
- made /etc/skel to match my users config including .trinity (this might be an error, but
I think it's not)
- made /usr/local/sbin/adduser.local to take care of the specialities from /etc/skel
- made a folder ~/tool/ with F-Engrave + G-code_ripper + dmap2gcode + pcb2gcodeGUI +
dxf2gcode + PyCAM
- made custom menu for the tools
Then I built a ISO with refractasnapshot. The resulting ISO works as expected - ~/tools is
present, menu is there etc.
But when I run the installer, the additionons are gone. Basicly it looks like the user
directory is wiped clean and restored from /etc/skel and /etc/exegnu/skel - wich I think
is what is actually going on.
So now I'm working my way through exegnu-installer to see how I could make my
"new" user identical to the user of the ISO. When this is done I have a fine
image for my lectures - and anybody who wants exegnu remastered with linuxcnc is wellcome
to test :)
BTW, there is a bug in 1067-exegnu-userdefaults, line 48:
SYSTEMLANG=$(cat /etc/default/locale|grep -m 1 'LANG='| sed
's/LANG=\"//'| sed 's/[A-Z].*//')
As /etc/default/locale does not have a <"> the spanish version is never used.
What I am now struggling with (besides the installer) is an easy way to make my
modifications to the various refracta/live/exegnu-packages kind of persistent - i.e. make
it survive a package reinstallation.
Nik
