Re: Can i host my own mirror ?
Yeah I can imagine. The Chimera servers in Czechia were equally slow for me in Australia. I'll look into some options for speeding it up for you.

Re: Can i host my own mirror ?
I'm certainly open to improving speeds. Mirrors are one possibility, although I have not set up rsyncd in order to make it possible so far. Where are you located? I would not be opposed to setting up project hosted mirrors for popular locations like North America and Europe. I just didn't do so pre ...

Re: gnome-shell built-in polkit authentication agent does not register on session D-Bus
Maybe the polkit build in Casuarina's repo doesn't carry the same turnstile-awareness patch that Chimera ships (main/polkit/patches/turnstile.patch), or it's there but landing differently against whatever polkit version Casuarina is currently building.
Casuarina follows the Chimera cports repo ...

Re: gnome-shell built-in polkit authentication agent does not register on session D-Bus
Is gnome-shell in Casuarina built without the polkit agent integration
Not deliberately, but I've noticed this too.
How should i fix it?
I'm not sure. I haven't sat down to work out what's going on. It basically requires making sure it's built with the necessary support and then stepping ...

Re: Hello everyone!
No, please don't. There is no need for it and it will just create confusion around what is official vs. unofficial. Plus all contributions would need to come via Codeberg anyway. If you're working on one of the repos it's fine to publish your fork under your own user on GitHub, but PRs will still ...

Re: Hello everyone!
Hello, and welcome! Thanks for your interest in the project. Codeberg was deliberately chosen. It uses the same workflow as GitHub, so the barrier to entry is low. There are no plans to be on GitHub as well.

Re: NVIDIA Support
It does not currently. Due to the hassles with the proprietary driver I stopped buying any NVIDIA hardware back in 2019. Casuarina does theoretically make it possible to support, but that work would need to be contributed by someone else. q66 mentioned the other day:

Re: Documenting packaging, plus a few thoughts
The firmware handling is by design. It pulls it all in by default for the common case of allowing everything to work automatically. However if you know the specific devices you need to support, you can mask the firmware meta package and add the specific firmware you need (if any).
