Beowulf update adding Ceres repos to sources

I've verified this on a couple different installations. The lines

# Devuan repositories
deb http://packages.devuan.org/merged ceres main
deb-src http://packages.devuan.org/merged ceres main

are being appended to /etc/apt/sources.list

I suspect it has something to do with the task packages that have recently been updated. Here is my sources.list before the lines were added

# 

# deb cdrom:[devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_netinst]/ ascii main contrib non-free

#deb cdrom:[devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_netinst]/ ascii main contrib non-free

deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged beowulf main contrib
# deb-src http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged beowulf main contrib

deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged beowulf-security main contrib
# deb-src http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged beowulf-security main contrib

deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged beowulf-updates main contrib
# deb-src http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged beowulf-updates main contrib

It happens on both a minimal install and a full XFCE install.

Re: Beowulf update adding Ceres repos to sources

You got hit with an old version of devuan-baseconf. I think you had to hit the enter key on a dialog screen without noticing it said 'ceres' in the text-entry box. The updated version is in ceres now and won't add any lines to sources.list, but it also won't remove the lines that were added. Do that manually. It should be in beowulf soon, too.

The newer version will remove /data/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/05disable-recommends. (Bet you didn't notice that one.)

Sorry for the mixup.

That explains a bit. Thanks people.
