Thanks,

I always find it difficult to understand how distros implement their respective dependencies. This is the first time I have gotten some understandable answer

Thanks,

So the Devuan repos are mirrored from Debian and when a security patch is release in Debian it is directly available in Devuan then?

Are the packages mirrored from Debian every what-ever hours or are Debian mirrors included in the Devuan installation but with lesser priority than Devuans own mirrors?

Devuan uses the Debian repositories for everything except systemd related software.

[SOLVED] Security updates of Devuan compared to Debian

Hi,

I am intending to use Devuan for a public server (most likely in a VPS) but I am keen to know the process of security updates.

I am aware of Devuans relation to Debian in general but how does it work with security updates? Are the Debian changes mirrored in Devuan and does it imply a lot of manual work involved or will the change enter Devuan quite quickly? How does the release engineering flow look like?

Thanx in advance,
Erik
