Well, this venomous spew is a rude and depressing awakening to my long winter's nap. Free software should be for everyone,  everywhere to use and participate. So please pull your heads out of that dark place and join us in collaborative cooperation towards a possible future.

Please Dutch_Master . . . the Russian State is not the Russian free software community.

Perhaps you could add it to the init-system-helpers package via Devuan's git store if the Debian maintainer will not cooperate. I think that's where it should go . . .

Debian sid certainly freezes. There may be a few package updates but not many. At least in my recent experience.

this.
sid also "freezes". no updates coming in while testing freezes to become stable. exception might be some last RC updates, but even that, stop completely a few days prior to release.

I stand corrected by those who swim in those waters.  big_smile

Ceres is always fluid and unstable. It never freezes. Please take a look at our release information.

Do not use Debian repos directly. All Debian packages including backports that won't break Devuan are pulled in by Amprolla to Devuan. You'll have to sort which branch is current . . . that magic is way beyond me.

You will also find https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html a useful tool to search for available packages and https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt to know what shouldn't be installed on Devuan . . .

Didn't Hyperbola morph into Parabola. Or was it the other way around? This thought just from a vague memory . . .

@alphalpha . . . that is a good question and thank you for asking it.

The fact that this thread still exists is not a vote of approval. Enforcement would just create more hostility. Instead, the OP was given an opportunity to learn to self-regulate and participate constructively in civil society . . . and failed. Seems he has made his choice. He has not visited here since his meltdown 2 days ago . . .

No . . . the technology is questionable. Always has been. The road it is going down is not progress.  It is human hubris. I have been watching carefully since the mid-90s and can find nothing there that I would knowingly touch . . .

That is a matter of perspective.

There can be no "offense" when none is taken . . . Internal reaction to external stimuli is a CHOICE. Humans are notoriously poor at understanding this which is why our species is hopelessly mired in ignorance and conflict.

golinux your no doubt excellent admin brain is these questions are not your section but I am precisely here because there is a rare mix of wonderful minds here.

Yes, the Devuan "pond" has the most amazing fish swimming in it. On this we can agree.

But even if the internet had not taken the predictable turn that it has, there would be similar problems to distress us. Again, it is a CHOICE how to respond to them. Distress is not useful. Action is. Those of us here have made a choice and doing a pretty good job of it . . .  smile

@andyp67 . . . I suggest you start a personal diary to reflect and record your thoughts. Your ability to do so on this forum is about at an end.

Thinking is the root of the human predicament. Our "madness" imposes a false narrative on the experiences impinging on our sensory organs and we turn that bare experience into a fantasy that has little to do with reality. IOW we live in a dream (more of a prison) that is of our own making. It is a choice to dream but not so easy to wake up . . .

#1045 Re: Off-topic » We all aware the interweb is problematic, deranged, imbalanced. » 2022-11-02 21:38:01

I seem to be more of a fossil than you. I do not have a working cell phone. Only one which has never had a working account for 911 emergency use only . . .

The web is deranged because it magnifies the reality that our species is deranged with greed, hatred and delusion.  I vote for extinction . . .

#1046 Re: Devuan » Chimaera is like an "LTS" ? » 2022-11-02 17:18:42

No crystal balls here. That decision will come from Debian and Devuan will follow.

But it's not good enough, this is Devuan, the live should mirror the regular storage device install, and it doesn't.

If you had used the netinstall iso and chosen the "expert install" option you would have had more control of what was installed. The netinstall uses a slightly modified version of the Debian installer. The "live" iso uses the "refractainstaller" which only copies the files of a default Devuan desktop installation to your installation media.

You can read descriptions of the available Devuan installation media here.
