Semplice 7 review

This is a review of the latest edition of Semplice, a desktop distribution based on the unstable branch of Debian.
Before this review, Semplice 5 was the previous edition last reviewed on this website. See Semplice 5 review – High Hopes.
Where Semplice 5 featured a custom graphical installer and the Openbox window manager, Semplice 7 still featues the same custom graphical installer, but a different desktop environment and window manager.
If you’ve never used Semplice, this cursory review will provide enough information about the distribution to bring you up to date on what to expect from it.

| Moving commits between independent git histories
PyPy is an alternative Python implementation. While it does replace a large part of the interpreter, a large part of the standard library is shared with CPython. As a result, PyPy is frequently affected by the same vulnerabilities as CPython, and we have to backport security fixes to it.
Backporting security fixes inside CPython is relatively easy. All main Python branches are in a single repository, so it’s just a matter of cherry-picking the commits. Normally, you can easily move patches between two related git repositories using git-style patches but this isn’t going to work for two repositories with unrelated histories.
Does this mean manually patching PyPy and rewriting commit messages by hand? Luckily, there’s a relatively simple git am trick that can help you avoid that.
