@swanson . . . You might also want to have a look at the documentation on the beta website in case you have need to do a similar migration.

@Mercurius . . . You didn't say which mirror you would like to host so posting both:
iso mirror setup
package mirror setup

Can't you change that in your profile?  If not, fsmithred or I could do it.

It already is in a "normal" installation:
https://beta.devuan.org/os/packages

Not exactly . . .

This from https://beta.devuan.org/os/packages :
Devuan package repositories are exclusive. Other repositories, including Debian, Ubuntu, Mint etc, should NOT be used directly.

Your interpretation of what constitutes a Debian repository could lead to a Frankendevuan!  FWIW, debmultimedia has always been a risky adventure.  If you decide to go there check the package carefully and remember that you added a non-native package when the devuan version arrives.

HoaS is an easy wind-up. 

Actually I suspect that this is the tip of the iceberg.

Used to be that the "wontfix" issues were listed on their stats page.  That went away a year or more ago.  No telling what's buried in there that will come to bite us.

@Roger . . . Thanks for doing that.  One question . . . did you install the incompatible driver from the Devuan repos, Debian repos directly of from nVidia?  That might be a factor is why the old driver was not found.  I'm not quite sure where/what his script checks.  Or perhaps there was an instruction somewhere to remove the current driver before proceeding.  I really can't remember the process.  It was so long ago.

It appears to be in ascii and ceres.  Looks like that omission comes directly from debian as we have not forked that package.  Have you checked backports?

@Altoid . . . thanks for tracking that down.  I have always had great respect for HH and thank him for his contributions and  making that script compatible with Devuan.  You probably noticed that package comes directly from Debian - Origin: Debian.

Oh, but it is!

Considering the monied interests that "own" scientific research (perhaps the Gates Foundation is among them?), the "cure" is going to make a lot of people even richer because the "cure" will undoubtedly be patented.  I'd rather let nature do its thing than participate.  Note that I have never had a flu shot either.

dev1fanboy aka chillfan is meticulous in his documentation so I'm sure there is a reason.  You could open an issue at https://git.devuan.org/devuan-doc/docum … dev1fanboy to ask him or send him an email via this forum.  He hasn't been here since early March.  Of course, someone else may know the answer.  Just not me.
