#2801 Re: News & Announcements » Amprolla3 is out for testing » 2017-12-08 06:45:39
There is one thing that I have yet to understand out of all this mystic repository structure.
merged
The merged repo pulls in the filtered, unaltered pkgs from Debian that are allowed into Devuan.
What exactly is merged? A selective Debian repository mirror with a Devuan repository?
If so, what edition of a Debian repository is used?
Devuan jessie pulls from Debian jessie (oldstable)
Devuan ascii pulls from Debian stretch (current stable)
Devuan ceres is Debian sid (unstable)
Is Devuan really a rolling distribution?
I suppose that ceres could be considered a rolling distro.
After all this time I am clueless in answering these questions.
No kidding!

@ghaverta . . . The ascii isos are only unofficially available atm. It's unlikely the Jessie ones will be compatible with newer hardware. Maybe with a backported 4.9 kernel . . .
#2803 Re: Installation » Is Devuan Ryzen? » 2017-12-08 03:58:38
One of the Devuan devs reported this a few weeks ago:
Ran a refracta ascii snapshot with 4.12 on an AMD Ryzen7 bench test system with ECC ram and ECC works properly!!!
fsmithred is providing some unofficial ascii isos. Hopefully he'll leave some urls for you here.
#2804 Re: Installation » Is Devuan Ryzen? » 2017-12-08 02:52:04
ascii is not buster.
beowulf will mirror buster
ascii mirrors stretch
So it is not currently possible to upgrade from debian buster to anything devuan except maybe ceres (sid)

@oui . . . I am a native English speaker and I didn't understand it either. There are several languages muddled in there.
#2806 Re: News & Announcements » eudev is now in ascii » 2017-12-07 18:31:06
Currently the version #s are a bit muddled. Some pkgs in experimental need to be deleted. It's all explained here especially towards the end.

@chillfan . . . Didn't we start saving some XUL extensions quite a while ago? Do you still have those somewhere? I'm still hoping they will come in handy at some point.
#2808 Re: Other Issues » Wireless issues » 2017-12-03 18:20:03
That post is short on specifics. What are you using to connect? What driver do you have installed for what hardware? Could we see your sources.list? I'm only wired so can't help much but I know that info would be useful to find a solution.
#2809 Re: News & Announcements » How you can help Devuan » 2017-12-03 18:12:12
Donate an ARM development board (50$-100$) (contact parazyd parazyd@dyne.org / #devuan-arm)
Donate an ARM or ARM64 build host (50$-200$) (contact parazyd parazyd@dyne.org / #devuan-arm)
Donate a MIPS board (50$-200$) (contact parazyd parazyd@dyne.org)
It would be great to have a list of which boards are needed, and how they could be used.
I haven't seen anything more specific than that. Just a few weeks ago parazyd asked me to add this to the Donate page of devuan.org:
. . . ARM or MIPS boards or PowerPC/Sparc hardware
#2810 Re: Installation » Upgrading: Warning: The following essential packages will be removed » 2017-12-03 16:20:14
There are problems with util-linux atm. It is a priority to get it fixed.
#2811 Re: Other Issues » Tried an upgrade to Ascii today, and got this message... » 2017-12-02 16:24:51
Good timing . . . there has been util-linux activity on https://ci.devuan.org/ this morning. Some build success but a ways to go.
#2812 Re: Other Issues » Tried an upgrade to Ascii today, and got this message... » 2017-12-02 15:43:44
There are long standing issues with util-linux. Though I'm not quite sure what they are, this package is a major roadblock to the release of ascii. Hopefully will be rectified before or during the ascii sprint coming in mid-December.
#2813 Re: Installation » OpenRC and eudev installation in Devuan ceres » 2017-12-01 23:51:06
When I was trying ceres a month ago system was freezing often. Now, after few hours ceres still behaves. To me this means that developers are working hard to get new Devuan ready.
Just now seeing this. IIUC Devuan devs don't touch anything in ceres except for the automatic removal of some systemd pkgs.
#2814 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Clarity regarding eth0 device name » 2017-11-30 01:33:44
Has it been the last month that it moved from experimental to ascii?
That hasn't happened quite yet but will soon.

It was worked out in real time on #devuan-dev. No public logging there though . . .
#2816 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Clarity regarding eth0 device name » 2017-11-29 22:14:35
eudev is being tested (quite successfully) in ascii.
#2817 Re: Other Issues » amprolla.devuan.org is not online » 2017-11-29 21:52:48
Actually a major pain.
#2818 Re: Other Issues » amprolla.devuan.org is not online » 2017-11-29 09:07:25
It's very late here so will just post a link to the correct information for the repos generated by amprolla3:
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … ab.en.html
There are several posts on this forum that also have that information
#2819 Re: Devuan » Weird Devuan mirror name » 2017-11-24 17:49:59
That mirror has been around for a long time. Sometimes geeks can be a bit gross.

I thought that QT was the culprit

You did have a backup, didn't you?

#2823 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] <Ascii> xfce4-terminal; No Scroll bar » 2017-11-22 15:59:57
Happy to hear that you got that sorted. I hadn't thought to ask about themes other than mention the havoc that GTK3 is causing. There are many outdated, unusable themes in the repos. I am just now getting around to theming ascii. The wallpaper is almost finished then I'll move on to the window theme. I already know that there are problems with CPP so will have to find something else to use as a base.

Well, that's stressful. I guess this falls under the 'it seemed like a good idea at the time' category . . .
