excalibur image for original rpi?

I have an old Raspberry Pi model B that I'd like to run excalibur on, but I notice that the arm builds at arm-files.devuan.org/RaspberryPi Latest Builds don't include excalibur builds for the original rpi.  Is there a reason for that?  I thought Debian and the kernel did still explicitly support the original Pi.

I could start with daedalus and upgrade of course (unless there's a reason it wouldn't work) but I figure it would be cleaner to just start with excalibur.

Thanks, thanks to everyone who works to make Devuan!  I also have it on ia32 (daedalus), ia64 amd64 (excalibur), and arm64 (old Samsung Chromebook Plus V1, soon to upgrade to excalibur) machines.

Those are not real builds anyways they are made with a script that creates images that are broken by default and do not allow the kernel to be upgraded like on a proper system. If you want to be able fully upgrade the system so that actually follows a normal Debian/Devuan process install then you need to install the Trixie using Debian images then convert it to Devuan like I did when I figured out the broken nature of them files.
