Whenever debian testing goes into freeze is when I start making isos for the next refracta release. Last couple of releases I was late getting started. Looks like this time I'm early. Here are some xfce isos based on devuan daedalus. I started with the refracta-12 no-X isos and added the usual software. I checked the package list against refracta-11, and it looks like everything is there.

I have no idea what works or does not work. Well, I know they boot (in qemu) and get an ethernet connection. And the browsers work. (ff-esr and tor) But this is way early, and something must be broken. If not, wait a week and upgrade, and maybe something will break.

Ceres is also in sources.list and pinned to a priority of 10 in case you want to get something sooner. OK, it's pinned in both isos, but the ceres line didn't make it into the amd4's sources.list. Next time...

Have fun, and don't fall off the edge.

Thanks for the hard work. There are a few impatients around, so glad you've made a ISO for the next.

Thanks fsr!

I'll check this out whenever I get the time to...

No promises though!

Thank you for all that you do with both Devuan and Refracta...it's much appreciated!

And for the truly impatient, here are some no-X isos based on daedalus.

I made these the easy way - upgraded a chimaera VM to daedalus and made a snapshot iso.

Updated xfce and no-X isos are here:
https://get.refracta.org/files/stable/

These are better than the last set of isos.

- ps_mem.py now works.
- firemenu Edit button now works.
- Some odd file associations were corrected. Some might still be weird.
- Tor Browser menu bar is now enabled.
- check-link-state patch added to /etc/init.d/networking to remove the
boot delay waiting for non-existent ethernet connection.
- Correct desktop background now shows up. (single-color: #1A6542)
