Yes. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Thanks, I didn't know that command. But it gives me

Devuan
9

I suspect there is a remnant from Debian that should be removed.

As a relative newcomer to Devuan I have a question. Having received the notice about the 2.1 release, I note that many packages I have installed are at later versions than the ones listed in the announcement. I have updated regularly, and do so at least once a week; does that mean that I in fact have the 2.1 version of Devuan?

If that is the case, might I suggest that the file /etc/devuan_version be updated to indicate the current level of the system.

To conclude on a lighter note, typing this response prompts another question. Why does the Galaxy Forum spell checker query the word "Devuan" -- I like it!

I have a question about the package search page.

I'm sure when I was using it recently, that I could search and find a udeb I was looking for, but now it doesn't. Is this the case? Also would it be possible to put a link on the page so a package can be downloaded.

Devuan package information pages
https://pkginfo.devuan.org

I was looking for choose-init, which doesn't appear in the list anymore.

Thank you! I appreciate all the effort the real devuaners do. I'm just a moocher.

This point release includes all updates since the 2.0.0 release.

I'm not seeing any updates at all. The last update I saw was tcpdump on Monday.

I installed from the new iso (netinst) in order to check out the openrc option. It installed without issue, and openrc is working fine!

Thank You for making this update available. That's some significant patch-age.

Lots of folks may not notice (other than the large amount of updates they're about to receive) but Since I monkey around a lot with some 'extra' hardware and VMs I appreciate the new isos.

2.1 iso running happily in QEMU now... 'All packages are up to date'.

That would best be discussed on #devuan-arm where the arm devs hang out.
