Why on earth would you "upgrade" from daedalus (currently in testing) to "ceres" aka "sid" (unstable)?

Please have a look at https://www.devuan.org/os/releases to familiarize yourself with Devuan releases.

@jas . . . Packaging is way above my paygrade but perhaps this would help sort your confusion about how Devuan packages are built?

The folks at Devuanpup "Daedalus" woof-ce are welcome to post to our derivatives section and interact with Devuan users. If it is well-received, it will be added to the official derivatives list. We do appreciate your letting us know about Devuanpup but someone actually working on the project should be talking directly to us if they want that to happen.

I try my best to understand what you are trying to communicate but it is not easy so apologies for any misunderstanding. I have probably missed the mark again with this post.  Sigh . . .

Please take your rant upstream to Debian. We are Debian without systemd. Period.

Or . . . here's a thought . . . create what you envision yourself and gift it to the world!

#781 Re: Devuan » We need to big up Devuan Live » 2023-07-17 17:47:01

Devuan does not add new goodies and tools to what Debian provides. We only deal with systemd and related feature creep that would break said purpose.

Maybe replacing Slim (deprecated) by LightDM helps?

AFAIK Slim is still alive and well and installed with the default Xfce desktop but it does lack some features that are provided LightDM.

@amaro . . . This is news? This has always been the way with humans or chatbots created in the image of their creators. Totally predictable and unsurprising . . .

Well you made me curious, so I searched for d_e_a_dalus in this forum, and guess what came out:

LOL! /me wipes egg from face . . . I was thinking earlier today that I need to run that search and correct all of them.

My actual point is, I too like the sapphire theme very much, it almost feels like deepsea was a sort of preamble, a necessary path that unfolded into sapphire. I now need to get that Gnuinos Daedalus preview back into testing, I just noticed the 2023.06.21 images.

Indeed they are paired and even share some of the same artwork. It is a good way to end my run at theming Devuan. If it weren't for the fact that I can barely deal with a computer these days, I would give Gnuinos a spin myself . . .

Oh, aitor . . . very sweet of you to say that . . .

#789 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2023-06-24 00:38:37

@oui . . . Again it is DAEDALUS not DEADALUS. Please edit your post above to correct. It makes it hard for users to find your feedback because the search function won't be able to find it because it is misspelled. Thank you.

@oui . . . Our next release is Daedalus not Deadalus. I have corrected it in both your posts. smile

The only real answer would have been "no, it's not going to work", not a Debian package in a Devuan system . . .

I might be misunderstanding something in your comments but want to clarify that Devuan is 99% pure Debian pulling directly from Debian repos with the exception of blacklisted packages. Devuan only forks a few hundered packages. The magic of putting everything together is done with Amprolla.

As to mixing releases . . . yes that is a no-no.

#793 Re: Installation » post install: cdrom error - .iso image as a primary apt source » 2023-06-15 17:48:44

Echo . . . yes, that sources.list is a mess. Please have a look at this page:

No . . . bad idea. The Devuan bug tracker is for bugs in packages that Devuan provides. I know you know this so why muddy the waters . . . ;D
