I'm currently using Devuan 4 and Java from Temurin.

Debian 11 support ends in September, and Devuan 4 support will end soon as well.

My service is fairly stable and won't be updated. It's not exactly a legacy service, more like a "mature enterprise solution" smile.

I'd like to connect the Freexian repository, but I'm worried about potential issues.

Are there any good practices for using Freexian? Perhaps a whitelist of packages (tzdata, dns-root-data, and other system packages), or a blacklist?

Basically, I'd like to receive updates for Java (which will come from Temurin), Apache 2 (hopefully via ELTS), and the system/OS in general. Apache Tomchat 9 obviously won't update automatically, and even if it does, it won't have the scripts for Sysvinit.

So, has anyone tried Devian + ELTS Freexian and what happened?
