Because you're barely a shadow here these days.  You have been missed!

Are you aware that jessie is now oldoldstable and will be EOL by the end of June?  Even I will have to say goodby to my trusty jessie that has been running since just after the fork. 

Try this on the beta site:
https://beta.devuan.org/os/keyring

Don't know if it will help if you are on ascii.  Such esoteric stuff is beyond my pay-grade

The whole idea of MIYO is to Make It Your Own so feel free to make those modifications yourself.

I thought the systemd crew was running Freedesktop.org.

Seems you are unaware of the significance of Beowulf.  It was a bloody mess.   Devuan is different.  Maybe when you're no longer a self-proclaimed  noob, you will be better able to appreciate that difference.  If you want mainstream, you certainly have plenty of options.

Just who is the "we" that you propose should undertake this enormous task?  "We" are overworked and understaffed and our mission is to deal with systemd encroachments not everyone's personal wish list.  File a "bug" upstream with Xfce for starts.

What a great, in-depth review!  Well done, Ozi!

@user . . . thanks for the suggestions.  beta.devuan.org is the updated site that will be released with Beowulf 3.0.0.  So that is the site you should be proofing for errors and/or using if you are testing Beowulf.

That page no longer exists on the beta site.  It has been replaced with a link to this page on the dev1galaxy forum.

That's an interesting suggestion but perhaps not necessary as the web source is in devuan's git and anyone can open an issue there.   Devuan's irc channels #devuan-www and #devuan-dev are also good places to catch someone.

Might be helpful to have the exact filename of the iso you tried to install.

@swanson . . . You might also want to have a look at the documentation on the beta website in case you have need to do a similar migration.

@Mercurius . . . You didn't say which mirror you would like to host so posting both:
iso mirror setup
package mirror setup
