Security updates

Sorry for the dumb question, just wondering how security updates work in Devuan. Do we basically forward to the Debian security updates (modulo the package blacklist), so apt-get update is enough to get the latest updates? Or is there something extra I should do?

Thanks!

Amprolla is the package that works the magic of integrating Debian repos with Devuan. I posted this link in the other thread but guess you missed it:
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/amprolla3

Here is a summary of amprolla from the Devuan Conference.

Followed by an upgrade command, yes.

Also assumes the correct security repo is in Apt sources, as per the Packages page on the Devuan website.
