If you have both ceres and freia in sources.list, you will only get ceres packages unless you pin ceres to a lower priority than freia.

There's no -security for ceres or freia, and excalibur-security won't have package versions that match what's in freia/ceres right now.

Excalibur is currently in the twilight zone between testing and stable. It hasn't been declared Stable yet, but it has been disconnected from the unstable to testing pipeline, and it's based on Debian Trixie which is their stable release. That's why freia exists, which will be our next testing suite.

Hi there, I have a weird stuff on my system ?

See :

> cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Devuan GNU/Linux 7 (freia/ceres)"
NAME="Devuan GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="7"
VERSION="7 (freia/ceres)"
VERSION_CODENAME="freia ceres"
ID=devuan
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.devuan.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://devuan.org/os/community"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.devuan.org/"

but in my sources, I only have :

> doas cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devuan.sources

Types: deb deb-src
URIs: http://de.deb.devuan.org/merged/
Suites: ceres
Components: main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/devuan-archive-keyring.gpg

Types: deb deb-src
URIs: http://deb.devuan.org/merged/
