I do not know about IPv6 but County codes do not work in Devuan.  Here are some useful links to help you sort things:

That request should be directed to Debian not Devuan.  smile

The Ubuntu reference indicates that it might be self-inflicted:

From: https://www.devuan.org/os/packages

Devuan package repositories are exclusive. Other repositories, including Debian, Ubuntu, Mint etc, should NOT be used directly.

#1137 Re: Devuan » [SOLVED] Existential doubt » 2022-04-17 20:26:40

Also check backports to see if it might be there.

#1138 Re: Devuan » [SOLVED] Existential doubt » 2022-04-17 19:37:30

It does.

The canonical answer is here:
https://www.devuan.org/os/releases

And here:
https://files.devuan.org/ (or from your favorite mirror)

Gday

This is what I don't understand

Why cant the community fork or pull soyd/dbus/avachi from opensource programs?

[cut rant]

Does the soydless community even have a plan of action to go ahead ?

There are talkers and doers. Until you become a doer, silence is the best option. Perhaps you'll find a more appreciative audience elsewhere . . .

Why don't we fork systemd instead? Let's just remove unneccessary parts. Can't we do that? Wouldn't it be better? Or worse?

Why would anyone want systemd in the first place?

#1141 Re: Devuan » Devuan look and feel » 2022-04-15 01:58:57

@czeekaj - There has been a customized Clearlooks-Phenix-* theme for each Devuan release. Take a look here for some theming tips.  Clearlook-Phenix is down the page a bit. Might give you some ideas.

I would have actually enjoyed American history class if this had been the guide. No such luck as the book hadn't been written yet!

We are here and they are there for many reasons, one of which you just discovered.

You don't owe me anything, I'm just a lowly user who works on other FOSS, but FWIW I find this lacking.

Not going to waste anymore time on this as any answer I provide would not satisfy you.

If you would like more detailed documentation provided:

1. join the Devuan Team
2. get to know us and how we collaborate
3. write the documents you desire to meet your expectations

Waiting for this part to be revised once some under-18 users complain (which they should)...

Some under 18 are more adult than many over 18.  IOW, maturity is not a number and hopefully those who come here will attempt to understand that.

I am on sid Devuan

Just to reduce confusion for new readers . . .

There is Debian sid.

There is no Devuan sid.

There IS Devuan ceres.

Devuan ceres identifies, works around some and blacklists other systemd dependencies in Debian sid.

Yeah, I saw that up top.  A bit too murky imo but at least marginally visible.  Thankfully not my problem . . .  big_smile

This was posted as being the watermark.  No peppermint candy there.  Just text on a dark background.  I do keep my brightness at 65% and contrast at 75% though . . .

#1150 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Could we use the signature "D" in Devuan » 2022-03-29 15:49:15

I'm confused . . . maybe it's my old eyes . . . or maybe I don't understand what a watermark is . . . or maybe I need special xray glasses?
