Good morning
To add the non-free repository in the daedalus test system, how do I proceed?
Edit:
In this way I tried to add, but it gave me error:
En /sources.list
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main non-free contrib non-free-firmware
Typographical correction in the manual copy of the terminal output.
# apt-get update
E: The <<http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus Release>> file does not have a Publication file.
N: It cannot be updated from such a repository in a secure way and is therefore disabled by default.
#
Now the default repositories are commented out like this:
# deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-security main contrib non-free
# deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-security main contrib non-free
The only repositories that work on the daedalus test system are these, but it is insufficient!
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main
deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main

For those that realise that daedalus is *not* dead, do not copy brday's code.
The Devuan package information is here, and the sole Default configuration shown for daedalus is as follows on that page:
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main
@brday:
If your code was copied from the terminal then you likely have a reason (speling), otherwise non-free & contrib are not available for deadalus, though they may be for daedalus.

daedalus does have contrib non-free and non-free-firmware but it does not yet have daedalus-security or daedalus-updates. Those will come when daedalus is released.

I said that the repository this does work although it is insufficient:
http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main
But the non-free repository does not work, let's be clear.
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-security main contrib non-free

Well, now that you have edited it, it reads "daedalus" although when first posted it read "deadalus".
I was attempting to both be light-hearted in my response, and also warning other folks not to blindly copy your [ code ]'ed config since it contained a spelling mistake. Also, I personally only ever 'code' actual results without editing them so that others can trust that what I code is actually what I got as a result.
You need to address your remarks on the absence of non-free to fsmithred, since he states that yes, that does work whereas security & updates will not. I have no personal experience to be able to comment.

The error refers to a "Publication" file, which I've never heard of, and neither have any search results.
The text "It cannot be updated from such a repository in a secure way and is therefore disabled by default." also differs from the standard wording.
Are you translating this text? Don't do that. Instead prefix the command with LANGUAGE=en to have Apt output in the specified language (English), and then provide the exact verbatim command and output.
If you haven't yet got a terminal that allows you to copy text, you can do, e.g:
LANGUAGE=en apt-get update |& tee ~/output_of_apt_update.txt
-
Anyway, it looks like there might be an issue with Devuan here - not for non-free, but for non-free-firmware:
curl -isS http://deb.devuan.org/merged/dists/daedalus/Release | grep Release
There are no "Release" files under "non-free-firmware" directories, despite every other section having them...
Edit: Having checked the repository format specification, the "dists/$DIST/$COMP/binary-$ARCH/Release" files are legacy/no longer used (since ~2017), so this is a red herring.

I just installed faac from non-free and firmware-iwlwifi from non-free-firmware in daedalus without any errors.
Sometimes you get errors if you hit a mirror just when it's updating, and in those cases, it works again after a few minutes.
And sometimes a mirror is down. If it turns out that your sources.list is correct and you still have problems, you could select a specific mirror from this list: http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt
You can check the status of mirrors on this page: https://sledjhamr.org/apt-panopticon/re … t-web.html

Actually, I think that was me. When there are obvious misspellings of Devuan releases, I will correct them to prevent further confusion.

OK. Thanks to admin (although the OP has been further edited).

Not by me. The OP probably figured out he could do that himself, at least for a certain time window unknown to me. That doesn't apply to admins though . . .
