There isn't a Devuan release with the name 'crowz'.

But there is! Crowz is a Devuan derivative that has been around for years. You might want to have a look at this list of other Devuan derivatives. wink

@greenjeans . . . Sorry that I am so old and slow.  LOL!

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=766 now points to the  new thread at the top of the first and last pages of the thread.

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=766

Did I get it right? If yes, that thread should probably be closed.

So happy to have you back and doing your thing!! big_smile

Not at all, geenjeans . . . and if you give me some appropriate text pointing to the new thread, I will add it to the top of your old post with my superpowers. big_smile

Greetings to all!

November 27 is a very special day. It is the day that the Veteran Unix Admin collective announced their intention to fork Debian! The original announcement that was sent to the DNG mailing list is preserved on devuan.org and in the dng archives:

https://www.devuan.org/os/announce/

https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … 3a.en.html

Additional insights can be found in some of the issues that were preserved from our old github:
https://www.devuan.org/os/gitlab-issues

Do take a walk down memory lane or if you are newer to Devuan, familiarize yourself with the creative "electricity" that has energized and sustained this project for a decade and consider offering your talents to support Devuan going forward. It has been a truly amazing journey!

May the fork be with us for many years to come! big_smile

There is a time limit of a few weeks to be able to edit posts. Would not be good to have the ability to rewrite history. It has always been this way.

Are you trying to update Chimaera or upgrade to Daedalus? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something . . . wouldn't be the first time.

Nice to see you, greenjeans. It's been a while. What a wonderful project you're working on! I have a soft spot for libraries as I worked for a while in the University of Chicago library many decades ago. I got pretty good at finding misfiled items many floors down in the musty dark caverns. It was a bit creepy but fun too. big_smile Do let us know when the website is launched and we can celebrate your accomplishment!

Ozi Traveller last posted on this forum on 2022-07-10 18:30:38 and on the DNG mailing list on 2020-09-16. Seems he has vanished. I haven't a clue . . .

@Camtaf . . . Another option to abandoning ship might be to roll up your sleeves and contribute to finding a way to turn things around.  Just sayin' . . .  wink

What rock have you been hiding under, zapper? Devuan Excalibur will be merged and needs to be upgraded to "merged" in Daedalus before moving to Excalibur.

@GlennW . . . Yes, timing is important. For about a week the dev1galaxy forum has actually presented itself as a TECHNICAL support resource for the Devuan community as it should be, instead of a relentless churning of off-topic nonsense. It has been a bit like removing a thorn from the bottom of your foot . . .

#321 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2024-10-18 00:08:04

If you are not living in the reality of the present you are living a fantasy.  Sooner or later, when you least expect it, there will be a price to pay for the comfort of that avoidance. Sadly, humans keep repeating that cycle over and over and over . . .

#322 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2024-10-17 22:26:40

This thread is overdue for a timeout . . . can we please just freeze it for a few days or more? We shouldn't be wasting devuan resources on this nonsense.

/me goes back to boycotting this useless thread . . .

Thank you for that lovely post, goat. However, playing devils advocate . . .  sometimes truth hurts and even a Zen master has a stick. wink
