#1 Packaging for Devuan » [SOLVED] Devuan Backports? » 2023-09-25 16:43:17

Is there a backports repository for Devuan Daedalus?  Does is largely mirror bookworm-backports, with the Devuan modifications?

Thanks to you both.  I found the March 2023 one.  Btw, as of Debian 12 (testing at this time) there are no separate .isos for Debian, either.

Nothing newer than 2021?  That version wouldn't reflect the new Debian policy of including non-free packages, would it?  This seems non-responsive to the original post.  Am I missing something?

I have been using Debian Testing (bookworm) for a couple of months and it is great, especially since it now includes the non-free software necessary for wifi, etc.  The only problem is systemd.  I would like to use Devuan Daedalus Xfce if it would be essentially the same thing without systemd.  If that is the case, where is the download link?

I know there are Xfce wallpapers at /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce.  I can't find the Devuan ones, however.  Any help?  (I'm using Devuan 4 Chimaera Xfce.)

Thanks very much Head_on_a_Stick and ralph.ronnquist.  I'm back on Debian for the moment for other reasons, but I'm sure these replies will help me resolve my conky issue when I return to Devuan.  I really like the idea of Devuan.

Head_on_a_Stick, thanks very much for the reply and the opinion.  To be more clear, my question should have been: Can someone tell me how to generate the cut information from /etc/os-release?  I am sorry I was not precise enough the first time.

I have come over from Debian.  Using my old Debian conky config works except for the line to show the distribution:
Distro: ${alignr}${distribution}
This yields Debian, not Devuan.  Is there a way to have it display Devuan GNU/Linux 4 (chimaera)?  If it helps, the info I want to display (the pretty name} is in the 1st line of the output of: cat /etc/os-release
Thanks, in advance.

I have been using Debian (testing) with snapd installed.  That allows me to install the newest snap package for firefox and refresh it when desired without changing any other sources or having to pin or prioritize any packages.  My first question is whether I can do the same in Devuan or whether there are issues with the tweaks that have been made to eliminate systemd.

#13 Installation » [Solved] Conversion from Debian Stretch to Devuan Ascii » 2017-06-01 22:39:16

I currently use debian testing (stretch) with the following repositories:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main

Could I change these sources somehow to perform a conversion to devuan ascii?  If so, what would the process be?
