#2026 Re: Other Issues » ceres repository no longer has a Release file - cannot update » 2019-05-28 21:04:03
I wonder why?
Because ceres/sid/unstable are identical.
Devuan's pkgmaster is currently being worked on . . . not too smoothly, it seems. Some linkages seem to be fubared.
#2027 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Ports vs Pkgs » 2019-05-27 04:04:53
You can search the Devuan repositories with https://pkginfo.devuan.org/ to see what's available.

What exactly did you install?

Getting OT but can't remember ever seeing much of a discussion in this camp about SELinux.

/etc?
Maybe that would work on his Funtoo . . .

Yeah . . . it's another clusterf*** from the freedesktop.org folks.

There are also install guides with screenshots posted on the website that might be helpful. And on the index page a description of what the various installers provide.

IIRC the default in Devuan Beowulf will be to NOT merge /usr.

#2035 Re: Installation » Beowulf questions » 2019-05-11 01:36:42
I often get conflicts and "you have broken packages" notices with perl upgrades. Usually a reboot allows me to do the upgrade immediately after logging in but I guess that depends on what the conflicts are exactly.
#2036 Re: Installation » Interested in installing devuan, couple questions before I do » 2019-05-10 21:17:58
If you want to install external packages that are available in Debian use the Stretch package and it works.
Not a good idea - installing directly from Debian repos could put you in a world of hurt. Devuan filters the Debian repos and bans packages that could break your system. The Debian packages that won't break Devuan are already provided via redirect to the Devuan repos.

Smart move, from Windows to systemD :b
That happened in 2013 before systemd was entrenched in Debian. I have no idea whether they are still on Debian or moved to another Linux distro. I wonder if they might move to Devuan one day.

Not Devuan but the International Space Station did move to Debian some years ago.
#2039 Re: Other Issues » deb.devuan.org doesn't get updates for Jessie, auto.mirror.devuan does » 2019-05-09 03:24:37
I may be wrong, but I don't remember being advised to change jessie repositories over to deb.devuan.org. I thought they were supposed to stay as auto.mirror.devuan.org. Seems like deb.devuan.org was introduced with ASCII.
I just looked at the Devuan website, and it's still showing jessie as using auto.mirror.devuan.org.
auto.mirror.devuan.org is still the default repository because there has never been a point release for jessie and that is the repository used on the isos.
This note is also on the website (in several places):
IMPORTANT NOTE: auto.mirror is now deprecated and will be decommissioned. Please make sure you have the latest devuan-keyring package with apt-get install devuan-keyring and then point your /etc/apt/sources.list to deb.devuan.org.
#2040 Re: Other Issues » deb.devuan.org doesn't get updates for Jessie, auto.mirror.devuan does » 2019-05-07 22:21:32
All packages are up to date.
That is working. There are no updates because everything is already up to date,
See? sources.list is correct, but still no updates. Please note that I am using Jessie. Ascii is working fine with deb.devuan.org.
Jessie is old stable. It will probably only get security patches. I just ran update and there are no packages for me to install either on jessie i386.
#2041 Re: Other Issues » deb.devuan.org doesn't get updates for Jessie, auto.mirror.devuan does » 2019-05-07 15:19:59
IIUC, not all the mirrors in deb.devuan.org support https so it requires http to function properly. If you want to use https, the advice I remember was to look at the mirror list and choose a specific mirror that provides it.

As I was saying . . .
#2043 Re: Installation » Beowulf questions » 2019-05-06 01:11:51
Never mind. I just found it at the top of the forum page. I find that a strange place to put the link to the page for searching packages.
It's also in my signature on every post.
That it isn't on the official Devuan site is very odd.
It's all over the devuan.org site - on the index page and about 6 other pages too . . . maybe more. No blinking neon though.

@sgage . . . thanks for the heads-up. I sometimes lose track of things . . .
#2045 Re: Installation » Beowulf questions » 2019-05-05 22:21:32
1. I surfed over to the devuan mirror links page wanting to get an iso image for beowulf. The mirrors I looked at only had directories for ascii and Jessie. Where do the Beowulf directories exist? Do they exist on only some mirrors and I didn't happen to look at the right mirrors?
Beowulf is still in testing so no official installation isos are available on the mirrors. You can upgrade from ASCII by changing your sources to beowulf or use the one of the mini.isos here. Read the options carefully because there are some different ones available:
https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dis … s/netboot/
https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dis … s/netboot/
2. Are all the software packages now in Beowulf the only ones that are going to be included? I was interested specifically in the latest xiphos version that exists in Debian Buster but when I updated my sources.list file to look at the Beowulf repositories, did an aptitude update, and then used apt-cache to search for xiphos it did not show up in Beowulf.

#2049 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Replacement for system-config-lvm in Beowulf » 2019-05-02 19:28:08
Is there a replacement available with similar capabilities?
There could be if you forked and packaged it for Devuan.
#2050 Re: Off-topic » Something is wrong with my Devuan setup because my containers work » 2019-05-01 18:50:48
Just stumbled over this pro-systemd talk from linux.conf.au which suggests that we need systemd for properly running containers:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo
Haven't heard this argument before. Now I am wondering what is wrong in my Devuan setup since the lxc containers seem to work in Devuan even with sysvinit although UNIX is dead.
More amusement from the systemd camp. Most of their arguments are propaganda not fact. Read this if you haven't before.
However, one thing that I could not agree more with the speaker is the following:
The world around us is changing and we can either go with the change or we can try and resist it.
The borg tired that argument too, rather forcefully.
Happy to hear that everything is working for you.
