It all comes down to chemistry/attitude and action/reaction. These elements cannot be quantified but are an organic part of human interaction. As I said a few posts up, you get what you ask for (even though you didn't think you asked for it). Perhaps there might be a lesson there if it can be heard . . .
Indeed, freedom includes the right to make good and bad decisions. To succeed or fail. IOW it includes the right to make brilliant and/or stupid choices as well. I suppose it can be argued whether collective knowledge from past experience of others is right or wrong or restrictive of freedom. So yes, you have the right to stick a screwdriver into a live electrical socket. Whether that is "freedom" is debatable.
It is not advised to get packages directly from Debian. When you download via Debian repos there is a chance that you will get caught later by updating a package with a newer version that has been banned in Devuan. That could have "unintended consequences". Your choice to take that risk, of course . . .
What site is not accessible? pkginfo or deb.devuan.org?
If Debian has it and it is not on Devuan's banned package list, Devuan repos will provide that package. That's what "merged" does.
Alright. How do you feel about this?
Instead of answering the question that you know the answer to better than anyone
Can't really answer your question without context which starts with a citation for who posted it. Please include that when you quote in the future.
@Ulysses_ . . . no one here is interested in your political rants. If you want to continue posting here, please leave them at the door.
They do know how to dance in Bulgaria!!
Some iso mirror providers also host a package mirror but not all. And some package mirrors may not provide iso mirrors. To lazy to diff the two lists.
Devuan has a round-robin of package mirrors:
http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt
iso mirrors and package repository mirrors are two different things. ![]()
This may be due to some backend changes in the pkginfo function which is still somewhat of a WIP.
@rolfie . . . An "Invisible ink" trick?
Use the -debian operator to eliminate debian. Or -ubuntu etc. I do that all the time.
https://refracta.org/docs/readme.refractasnapshot.txt
refracta tools - installer and snapshot - are in the Devuan repos
Suspect the sys admin working on Devuan's infra. I think I remember that notes to that effect were posted on irc but not on the forum.
As HoaS Asked earlier . . . do you have "non-free" enabled in your sources.list?
Gnome is a bug.
Please check out this thread for updated php.
You both failed the challenge offered rather spectacularly. Thread is now locked.
Your final summations remind me of this original Star Trek episode. Same polar dynamic . . .
Are either of you even using Devuan?
Perhaps you can find a more suitable place than this forum to amuse yourselves since you seem to be incapable of evolving beyond such primitive, knee-jerk behavior.
Really . . . get over yourselves . . .
That would depend on your definition of an "update for non-sighted users". There will be a point release in the near future. I suggest that you take your questions to the DNG mail list as there are non-sighted users there who can better answer your questions.

Please do, nothing good will come from it...
It's just a bunch of flaming... which I realize i definitely participated in, but yeah...
This isn't doing anything beneficial.
+1 for locking this dumb thread
Yes, I agree but that's the easy way out of this. I'd rather see a collective effort of restraint that would also serve to challenge each participant's personal growth trajectory. That's a win/win solution for everyone to cultivate the concept of personal responsibility. If that fails, I'll reconsider . . .
Is it time to lock this useless thread?
Hey, kids . . . this sandbox is for adults so take it down a notch.
FWIW, there is no ignore function on this forum. Get along or move on and take your delusions of self-importance along with you . . .
It's rather useless to ennumerate what Devuan should be doing unless you are willing to actually do it.
Info from the devuan.org download page:
The minimal-live.iso (~460 MB) is a full-featured, console-based recovery tool with a focus on accessibility for visually-impaired and blind users. Uses the refractainstaller.
Give that a spin.
A lesson in color perception. The top and middle images share the same background color but the top one looks bluer/cleaner while the middle one looks slightly grayer/greener. The middle and bottom image share the same swoosh color but on a grayer background the bottom swoosh looks much brighter/bluer. The color picker doesn't lie but the eye is quite fickle. The lesson here is that colors are relative to other colors in proximity. Something like what Escher did but with colors. If you can't see those differences . . . well . . . you have plenty of company.
