Is Refracta-snapshot and installer available/working in Excalibur?

I have the last net install iso downloaded (arrgh at debian installer), was thinking about installing, updating, then rolling up a current hybrid iso.

Was thinking it might be helpful for the average Devuan user, an easy way to do some testing and report back.

Yes, snapshot and installer versions in excalibur/ceres work. I've been making desktop-live isos about once a month, but I have not released any because I was hoping that installer isos would appear and get tested first. We're still waiting for that to happen.

Got to try it last night (Daedalus), worked great as always!

One question, in Refractasnapshot.conf, both options to use xz were commented out, I uncommented the lower one and used that as that is what I always used in Vuu-do, but if I had left both commented out what would it have used for compression?

Yeah, that second one is the one you provided. Default is to use gzip.

Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. It uses either gzip/xz/lzo/lz4/zstd compression to compress both files, inodes and directories.
