You can control what gets included in the snapshot by editing /usr/lib/refractasnapshot/snapshot_exclude.list

The default behavior of refractainstaller is to format the selected partition(s). You can disable that in the options checklist of the gui installer or in the config file for the cli installer. Installing over an existing installation will probably cause unforseen problems, but it is possible. Whether you have /home on a separate partition or not would have some effect on how you do it. I don't recommend that you try it.

I'm not sure why you don't just remove the troublesome browser and whatever came in with it, but if you really want or need to reinstall...

Back up your personal data on some other storage device, do a fresh reinstall and then copy your data back into place.

And for future reference, including all your user's file in the snapshot is also a bad idea. It will make the iso too big.

You need to install live-config-runit, then refractasnapshot will install without complaint. It works. I've made snapshots with runit.

If/when you decide to use a git repo, there's git.devuan.org. You can have a personal account there that's separate from the devuan packages. I don't think there's any way to build personal packages on our infrastructure.

Looks nice!

Part 3: Pre-defined and user-defined pre-sets for the equalizer?     fsmithred ducks

To use apt with https, you must select a package mirror that supports https. Not all of them do. Find one on this list and use it in sources.list instead of deb.devuan.org.

I don't know how that works with a proxy or if it even matters.

Would that be a red heifer or a white buffalo calf? Not that it matters for this. I think I can change your user name. Send me the name you want using the email you used to register. I'll post back here to let you know if I was successful or not.

Where do you see that a minimum microarchitecture level is required?

Follow is not really the right word - we use most of their packages without changing them. Only packages that require systemd are either excluded or forked to remove that dependency. When we say that devuan is debian without systemd, we mean it literally.

Oops! Thanks, I fixed the link.

Yeah, there's a slow and steady effort to reduce users' choices.

Yes, the number of banned and forked packages increases with each release. In the banned packages list, compare columns 1, 5, A, F and K for a visual representation of this. (Beowulf, Chimaera, Daedalus, Excalibur and Ceres)
