The new image works now! Just did a minimal server install inside a VM and is fine. Thanks!

Just to keep y'all in the loop - freia netinstall 202605080047 *should* complete the installation successfully now. can be found on files.devuan.org and should hit the iso mirrors shortly.

In short: Yes.
Some packages are "kept back" when running apt upgrade, but install through apt dist-upgrade.
E.g. kernel and *some* other packages will stuck at older versions.
At least this is the case on my freia installation.

I succeeded installing stable version and then switched to Freia.

I have seen that the ISO is now available. I tested the Freia installer on junk laptop ( junk because it has some issues from factory, but mainly functional). Indeed Partition Disks is failing also on real hardware. Now I see why the ISO image was missing.

I still have one question: on the Testing(now Freia) should I run time to time: apt full-upgrade?

Thank you all for your answers!

There's an issue with the current freia netinstall iso. It's not booting in virtualbox with efi enabled. Haven't tested it on actual hardware yet. I was going to wait until I addressed that, but since there's evidently a demand for it, the netinstall is back and should hit the iso mirrors shortly.

[edit]
the current state of freia installer is not good. download and test if you'd like, but for me it's now failing at the step Partition Disks and will not proceed (even if run /usr/bin/partman). Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Normally, you take a stable, e.g. netinstall, do your installation, and then change the sources.list to freia. apt update/apt full-upgrade then will do the job.

There ya go, then roll it up with Refracta-Snapshot and you have a nice iso.

Typically there are no regular iso's prepared in the early stages of testing. This is happening when the release is due.

First, Thank you for your reply!

Yes, I know that is not officially released. In this location:
https://mirror.leaseweb.com/devuan/devu … aller-iso/

was the testing Freia ISO. And now is empty. It was an ISO last week. I am on Devuan for about a month, I don't really know how things should be.

Freia is in testing and not yet released.

I wanted to download the ISO for Freia and install it in a VM. The folder is empty. I am curious why is the ISO is not available for download.
