I was able to contact Dan, he is cool with us working Miyo into our pipelines... We just released our latest updated ISOs on Jul 1, we should be free for awhile, to get this worked in. I am not sure we can do all the window managers, but will try to do what we can. Dan if you read this stay strong! See you when you get back to it ! thank you for all that you do. If any one is interested in helping out do let me know.
As always thank you! Devuan Team for what you do!

Thanks! so much everyone. This is all super helpful.
I will get the team over at Peppermint, and see about getting this in to the pipeline.
@zephyr yeah we use, live-build - we built a python solution around it so that we can scale out our builds
My goal is to keep things pretty much the way he did things....I think maybe the installers will be either Debian or Calamares since that is what we deploy with.
Other wise yeah....will try to keep it as it is now.
Our source code is here:
https://codeberg.org/Peppermint_OS/bubbles
As we make progress will let you guys know
Thanks! again for your help and kindess
#5 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded » 2024-06-22 15:19:03
May I ask does anyone know where MIYO build source code is located.
I went through the sourceforge, but I wonder..... is that all his tools, or is there another repo.
I am wondering what was his build process..?
I am interested in forking that project into our pipeline, It would really be cool to keep it going if we could get some help maintaining it. 8 years is a lot of love given to a project. I think we can automate the process enough where the maint can be not so busy.... :-)
Thank you in advance
#6 Re: ARM Builds » PeppermintOS Devuan arm64 possible testing. » 2023-10-27 02:08:25
Yes, it is an ISO.
#7 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Thanks! from the Peppermint Team » 2023-10-07 11:12:03
That will work.... Thanks!
Very cool!
No need to mention calamares since both installers are used depending on the ISO downloaded...... :-)
#8 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Thanks! from the Peppermint Team » 2023-10-05 15:21:44
You guys can make that decision... we are okay with anything....
I personally like to make sure I get over here to say thank you!.
Because not only for the base but the kindness, and helpfulness of the community here.
Feel free to list us if you want easy day.
#9 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Thanks! from the Peppermint Team » 2023-10-05 05:10:09
Nothing too crazy. this time we adjusted Calamares to let the user select the init they want to use.
A mini (140-180mb) series of ISOs using the debian net installer.
Added a few desktops the community wanted to support.
Later to early next year we are releasing configured server builds... looking forward to that.

Wanted to drop a message in this forum to say thanks! to the Devuan team and community, the solid work you guys do really makes things smooth down stream..
We released our most recent desktop Devuan build Oct 1everything was smooth....
#11 Re: Off-topic » Got another troll prank! » 2023-04-11 14:58:03
I think it depends....Peppermint has changed a lot over the last year, The Devuan base to me runs much better than the Debian spin. I think the largest beef folks have with it is that it ships with nothing other than xfce some utils and firmware/drivers...No web browser, no office etc....
#12 Re: ARM Builds » PeppermintOS Devuan arm64 possible testing. » 2023-01-26 11:51:29
Yes I will post the link here...thanks so much for helping
Thank you. Is it possible to show me a download link here, as I am not active in Matrix.

Hello forum from Peppermint OS world,
It has been a minute since I have posted over here. Since we released our Devuan spins we have gotten so much positive feedback, particularity in the realm of speed and choice options.
Much love to Devuan and it's community for what you do. I personally use all the Pep Devuan spins as I am not a real big sysd fan LOL
This just keeps getting more fun.... While we were prepping for bookworm and daedalus this year, MrReplicant contacted us, about a Devuan arm64 spin.
With his help this has resulted in some, ISOs being compiled and tested. Very interesting to say the least... to see a peppermint look and feel on that.
I have tested them in a qemu, runs no problem
But MrReplicant suggested possibly posting here to see if anyone in this community would be interested in testing the Pep Devuan arm64 spin if you have the hardware available.
If you are let me know I will make sure to post the testing links here
Thank you! All for what you do.
#14 Re: Off-topic » Video - SwitchedToLinux - Peppermint Devuan - Removing systemd » 2022-09-01 11:22:44
A lot of folks in our Peppermint community have given a lot of praise and props to Devuan and what you guys do.
It has given us the opportunity to really explain systemd and the importance of choice
It is really surprising to see how many of our community members that change to the Devuan base, after they learn about systemd and then they go further and share thier expirence.
To many it is really surprisiing just how much stuff systemd touches...
All in all thank you and great work!

Hello Forum....
Just a general question.....if Debian Releases a point release.
About how long does it take for that to make its way in to Devuan.... if at all..
Just curious....
Thank you ! In advance
#17 Re: Devuan Derivatives » We are making progress » 2022-07-15 12:53:41
Hello all....I wanted to swing by here, again to say a big thank you to the Devuan team and the great community you have here. Those of you who gave feedback for the testing of the 32bit we cannot say thank you enough, The 64bit has been working well, most of the feedback we got from the 32bit we applied to the 64bit they are so similar, we have not seen any eye popping issues in our testing... .
Thank you for letting us water mark your logo just a bit, with ours here at PeppermintOS.
I also wanted to let you know in the course of the next 2 weeks we will be dropping the Production release 32 and 64 bit of PeppermintOS(Devuan) we will definitely be throwing much love your way as we start ramping up the release.
Again thank you for your kindness and support

Hello - Forum,
Every so often I want to update you guys on our progress.
We actually do have nightly builds running for our private testers....
It has been a very smooth port to devuan as well..... we have both a 64 and 32 bit build
Also python w(tkinter), and golang worked out of the box no issues...very nice...!
Here is a screen of the 32 bit.
We are finalizing the branding for the installers. Thank you so much for letting us tag your logo in our spin. It will be a water mark for slides during the install (calamares). As soon as I get a final I will post a screen here of the installer.
None the less just sharing and expressing our many thanks!
#19 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Could we use the signature "D" in Devuan » 2022-03-29 12:57:20
I got a brief answer from Jaromil: "yes why not"
What does the logo for the debian build look like? I tried to find it, but failed. Or maybe the examples I saw were too small.
@fsmithred - this is great news! Thank you so much! -
Here is blown up version of the watermark
yeah... we did not put the Debian logo in there... we stuck with the classic peppermintos logo
no particular reason....
honestly I don't think it would fit as nicely as the Devuan "D" does.
I gotta say though.....we wrote a lot of tkinter/python/pyqt with ttkboostrap... code for our distro specific things...
It was a lift and shift Debian to Devuan easy day everything custom we wrote worked no issue at all..
Even our Calamares Configs transferred with very minimum changes needed.
The live-build was the same very minimum changes needed from our Debian to Devuan
We did take a vote and the team decided to go with sysV
Really good work that you guys do....!
#20 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Could we use the signature "D" in Devuan » 2022-03-27 07:56:10
No worries.....We still got tools we are coding in ...... very much appreciated!

Hello all..! And Devuan Team
Over at Peppermint OS we are getting ready to ship two ISO's 64bit and 32bit (Currently in testing phase)
And.....for the Calamares installer we would like to use a branding that includes the signature Devuan "D" for our slide backgrounds.
That would look something like this:
Is that something we could get permission to do?
We have not implemented the above image, but the goal is.... we would like to distinguish the Debian builds from the Devuan builds, and we would like to show support for Devuan where possible
If anyone is interested in what we are doing please visit our current code base is here:
https://codeberg.org/Peppermint_OS
And have a look at the two devuan repos.
Really appreciate your guys support. I personally have had many conversations with you all here in the forums....
Since picking up PeppermintOS after Mark Greaves (Previous Lead dev) passed a few years back.
These discussions have helped the team map a new road for PeppermintOS for the future..
#22 Re: Devuan Derivatives » SDK or (Debian) Live-build » 2021-05-04 07:33:32
Yes I have live-build working for Devuan. I haven't made new Devuan packages for it. I have only made a few changes to the way the installer script works. The live-build maintainer has made the naming convention consistent across all scripts.
I'm happy to send you the setup script!
@Ozi - That would be perfect. - Thank you so much.

Hello forum,
Hope you are all doing well,
Over at PeppermintOS we are re-basing on Debian and Devuan
With Devuan we will go with runit as the init system.
Our Debian build is reaching completion pretty soon we are starting to look at the tools needed for Devuan.
Now.... on Debian we used the live-build tools to do what we do.....
I notice that you guys have this SDK:
https://www.devuan.org/os/distro-kit
That kinda got me wondering:
1. Should we use the SDK
or
2. Can we use the live-build tools with Devuan?
I figure I would ask before we spent too much time down either road..
Thank you all very much for your time,

That was it..... solved the problem....thank you very much
#25 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Refracta-SnapShot - EFI Questions - Solved » 2021-01-10 13:41:07
If you chose force_efi, then I assume your host system boots in legacy bios mode. Make sure both grub-pc.bin and grub-efi-amd64.bin installed. And you'll need to have a copy of the not-installed grub package in the root of the system (or somewhere else if you specify the location in the config file.)
I like to install grub-efi-amd64 in the system and put the grub-pc deb package in the root, so it's available during installation on bios sytems. It works the opposite way, too, but if grub-efi is the one that's installed, then you will also have efibootmgr in the live system. That will make life easier if you boot on a uefi system.
dpkg -l |grep grub
Check to make sure there are two partitions in the iso.
fdisk -l <snapshot.iso>
The place I am building is in a VM using virtualbox hmmmm.....okay... make sense what you are saying.... thanks for the tip...
