I'm uploading a DIY image and the build environment in diy-devuan-2018-08-04.tar.gz now and I have updated the README.

This example uses Devuan Ascii as the build environment

Open a terminal window in your home directory and run the following commands:

$ wget -c "http://sourceforge.net/projects/linnix/files/diy-devuan-2018-08-04.tar.gz"

Copy diy-devuan-2018-08-04.tar.gz into your HOME folder the extract it

$ tar -zxvf diy-devuan-2018-08-04.tar.gz

This will install live-build and live-tools, then add the updates for Devuan Ascii

$ cd ~/diy-devuan/setup/
$ sudo setup

Suggestion: add these lines to .bash_aliases

alias diy='cd ~/diy-devuan'
alias menu='sudo ./menu'

To run the build

$ diy
$ menu

The live-build manuals are here:

Hi All

I had a request for an updated version of DIY, which is now almost done.

It will include a DIY iso, and the build environment to customise it for your selves. There is a setup script which will install the live-build packages and then add the updated scripts for Devuan. And I'll also update the README of sourceforge.

@MiyoLInux The live-build scripts I'm using for the ascii build, are a customised version of live-build from Debian Stretch.  Not the live-build from the devuan repos. They deal with packages coming from 2 different repos: pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged, pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan.

I haven't been able to do a build solely from pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged, as vmlinuz is in pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan

I don't know how to package up the scripts either.

I'd like to do another DIY at some stage though.

These images have been created for my purposes, i.e they are minimal for my reasons. So they will not suit those who want them customised to their preferences OOTB.

Everyone is welcome to download the images and add their preferred customisations.

New features:

  • UEFI has been added

  • Volti replaces xfce4-mixer

  • Included the latest debian installer

This report makes me very happy.  big_smile  The team has worked long and hard.  I am also delighted that you like the darkpurpy theming.  I don't think that anyone will be expecting where Beowulf will be going.  Here's a very preliminary sneak peek.  LOLOL!

Good work. How close is Ascii to being considered a stable version? To me it seems like it already is. smile

The RC should be out in days.  We're working on the announcement, building the isos and preparing for the servers to be hammered.  If no major issues pop up in the RC, stable could be here really soon.

One note for whoever reads this.   The name of the minor planet for which Devuan 2.0 is named is actually ASCII - all in caps.  We've all gotten a little sloppy about that but you'll notice the correct font case used in the website revisions and also the announcement.

Is the darkpurpy theme a similar to post sunset on BEOWULF?

apt-cacher-ng takes a little work to configure it to work for devuan. It doesn't by default come with config for devuan.

@phil - what do you find better with squid-deb-proxy?

Hi Ozi, thanks for the tip, but I think I'm missing something...

laptop3:~/live-sdk$ > grep -r MIRROR_BINARY

To use my local cache I set

mirror="http://192.168.44.47:3142/auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged"

in live-sdk/lib/libdevuansdk/config

Is there some doc somewhere explaining your use of _MIRROR_BINARY?

_MIRROR_BINARY is from my live-build setups.

And my point was that to wire up apt-cacher for live-sdk the url for apt-cacher would be something like : "http://localhost:3142/packages.devuan.org/merged" which would go in libdevuansdk config.

Hello and thanks for the reply.

I'll take a look at that debootstrap command but it isn't a local mirror, it's a caching proxy which uses apt-cacher-ng.
Not sure I'd want to set up a full mirror just for this.

Live-build is another way to make a derivative or respin, as well as live-sdk, which is still a work-in-progress.

And my base package list always contains these packages:

I discussion with Frits some time ago when he convert live-build to run on Devuan we agreed that sysvinit-core was the only way it worked.

Maybe not using "--mode devuan" is not a good idea, the default might be "--mode debian" in which case systemd would be logical.

There is a lot of good config in /etc/apt, so I usually uncompress the iso and mount the filesystem.squashfs, if it exists, and pull out any useful bits I find.

Yes I put it in chroot.includes

Hi,

What is the reason for switching from live-build to live-sdk?

Phil

I'm not sure. I know that live-sdk uses some of the same libraries as the devuan sdk that's used for building all the other images, so at least part of the decision was for consistency. I also know that early on, it was impossible to build an iso with live build-that didn't include systemd. I just tried the version of live-build in jessie, and it looks like it was neglected. It still uses debian repos. I just changed that and it's running. I'll know more in a little while.

I'm hoping Ozi will say something here. He uses live-build and knows more about it.

Edit: This is with version 4.0.3-1+devuan2, which looks to be the only one in jessie, ascii and ceres.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 live-config-systemd : Depends: systemd but it is not installable
                       Recommends: dbus but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I don't actually install live-config-systemd, I only ever install sysvinit-core and use the /etc/apt folder from the latest devuan iso.
