@mmaglis . . . Thanks for taking the initiative to find that.  I knew it existed and was going to suggest searching for it but thought better of it since I was not inclined to do so myself.   IIUC (that's certainly not a given), all the packages are signed so should be secure even without https.

A better place for that discussion would probably be the devuan-dev mail list.

Plentyn . . . Why don't you make these packages available in git.devuan.org?

You are correct rolfie. Revisions are now in place at  https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list

These days, I am seriously doubting my mental competence and am hoping to pass on some of my responsibilities to the next generation sooner rather than later.  Will post about that project separately.  Hopefully some volunteers will step forward to take up the slack.

@rolfie . . . please explain what needs to be corrected.  I updated the pages before I posted this thread.  Maybe I missed something.  I should probably add a specific note about the round-robin requiring http here and on the website.

Good grief.   Get a grip.  You are not the oracle of truth to anyone but yourself which is an audience of one.  Do you not have any place else to troll?

This is being discussed here with the dev who has been doing exegnulinux since the fork.  It is unlikely that TDE would become the default but could certainly be made available for individual installation.  Hopefully, dzz would be able to assist with this.

Thanks for the update dzz.  Wish that we would see you here more often. 

If the work is done, I don't see why your TDE couldn't be added to the list of Desktop options as aitor and AntoFox have done.  It might have to be prepared in a certain way and code in Devuan's git . . . I'm not quite sure how that works.  I can bring it up at the next dev meet if you like.  It is probably too late for Beowulf but could certainly be considered for Chimaera.  Please let me know.

I worked that out on the Xfce forums.  Have gotten some great help there undoing some GTK3 nastiness,  The gtk3-nocsd package is in the Devuan repos.

Wrong (as so much else in your post).  Devuan's minimal-live iso is customized to meet the needs of blind and visually impaired users.  If you don't like Devuan you have plenty of other choices.

Just fixed that. 

Sidenote . . . My brief encounter with Ubuntu about 15 years ago quickly cured me of the sudo thing.
