Wow it's great to talk to you. Thanks for your great tool! Your guess is right, I do my builds in Debian 8 with ghc and cabal from the repository. I do cabal update before compilation but I don't think this upgrades the ghc so the

What I'm trying to say is there is no 1to1 comparison between a Linux distribution and an Illumos one because of different structuring of upstream base and tighter community. But I don't disagree even when this considered 3 distro

I'm just an outsider to the Illumos community so take this with a grain of salt, but based on what I gather from checking it time to time I don't think this is the main reason. 11 is just the number of currently active distributio

You hope this doesn't gain traction because you're selfish? Devuan people aren't forcing you to write anything other than unit files. Support whatever you want and let other people freely developing their own distributions. b

This is what happens when you try to reinvent what could be achieved by shell scripts and basic command line utilities.

I don't know if it uses "luminosity inversion" thing you mentioned but I'm more than happy with xcalib(1). For extra comfort I apply redshift after inverting colors.
