Errors in web page: devuan.org/os/development-kit

Dear,
I am trying to install Devuan on beaglebone black and I have found some errors on webpage https://devuan.org/os/development-kit, in "arm-sdk :: toolkit for various ARM embedded devices" the currently supported boards are more then the ones listed (checked in https://git.devuan.org/sdk/arm-sdk) and an other error, a very serious is in "; init devuan raspi2" the correct command is "; load devuan raspi2".
I dont know it this is OT here.

Regards
Dino

https://devuan.org/os/development-kit is an obsolete page.  How did you find it?

Please go to https://devuan.org/os/distro-kit for the most recent information.  There you'll find this link to the current sdk info: https://git.devuan.org/sdk/arm-sdk

As to the error . . . parazyd doesn't frequent this forum regularly.  The best places to discuss arm stuff would be on irc at freenode #devuan-arm or https://git.devuan.org/sdk/arm-sdk where you can start an issue.  It might already be corrected in the current instructions.

Re: Errors in web page: devuan.org/os/development-kit

@Dino . . . you can silence Debian in google searches with the - operator.    wink 

<search term(s)> -debian

I do that all the time for -ubuntu

As I suggested above try freenode #devuan-arm or git to contact parazyd.

There have been issues with beagleboneblack in the past . . .

Re: Errors in web page: devuan.org/os/development-kit

Do we have a final release from Devuan?

No official announcement yet!

https://files.devuan.org/devuan_jessie/installer-iso/

Cheers!

Re: Errors in web page: devuan.org/os/development-kit

Dear all,
I have found at https://auto.mirrors.devuan.org/devuan/ … ssie/main/ the directory installer-armhf, it is useful for build an sd image to boot devuan on beaglebone black? There is some documentation to do it?
I think it is faster than to build complete sd image.

Thank you
Dino

Re: Errors in web page: devuan.org/os/development-kit

@golinux you said in #2

https://devuan.org/os/development-kit is an obsolete page.  How did you find it?

  - that is true but still available by direct url

it also happens to match this https://devuan.org/os/development which is reached by clicking on the "Developement" tab at the top
of the webpage.

then you say:

Please go to https://devuan.org/os/distro-kit for the most recent information.  There you'll find this link to the current sdk info:

which is true ---BUT that link is not available on the hmm/devuan.org/ main page or the //devuan.org/os page

There is a link on the https://devuan.org/os/development  page - - -  reached by the 'Developement' tab at the top
so the url is a little confusing - you don't find it in the contents of the 'os' page

semantics ?? I don't know  - I would have thought that each tab at the top would have its own folder /os   /development    /community

but then - I don't really have my own webpage - apart from wix and weebly !!!!!

Early in 2016 there was an https://devuan.org/os/development-kit page.  That page was well indexed in search engines.  But by the time of the Stable release it was obsolete and rather than delete the page, it is now redirected to https://devuan.org/os/development.  Then the development-kit was renamed to distro-kit and a new page with the currect information was written.

Why should there be a link on the index page which focuses on how to get and install Devuan?  It has no place there.  Same holds true for the os page which talks about how an os works.

Not trying to make excuses but . . . even though I worked on the styling of the site, I had little to do with setting up the site structure.  I inherited what was in place when I took over the site early this year,  It is a well-established site so it would be unwise to restructure it at this point.  So we're trying to work around it but at the same time simplify the site structure and remove redundancies.

I don't disagree with that and would have done it differently if I had been in charge when it was locked into place.
