| Franciman | hello everyone | 14:50 |
|---|---|---|
| Franciman | Does Devuan testing follow the same policy of debian testing? I.e. bugfixes are not directly merged, but sometimes it takes a few days etc? | 14:50 |
| gnarface | Franciman: not sure what you're asking, devuan testing is more or less a direct copy of debian so it gets the bug fixes at basically the same time, plus build/propagation delays | 15:39 |
| gnarface | most the packages are unaltered and served by http redirect to the actual debian repos | 15:40 |
| Franciman | thanks | 15:41 |
| Franciman | i am interested in using devuan on my workstation, so i wanted software which is a bit newer than the stable version | 15:41 |
| Franciman | But in the debian community it's a bit discouraged the use of debian testing, so i was asking if it is the same for devuan. And thanks for your answer | 15:42 |
| gnarface | yea, debian testing and devuan testing are gonna have all the same stuff except for these: http://packages.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt | 15:42 |
| gnarface | i think devuan patches get loaded into all releases at once as necessary | 15:43 |
| gnarface | if you don't like testing, you could try stable backports, which has usually got the important newer stuff you need | 15:43 |
| gnarface | chimaera is current stable | 15:43 |
| gnarface | daedalus is testing | 15:44 |
| gnarface | though, there are testing images up already at https://files.devuan.org/ | 15:44 |
| gnarface | so you can try a daedalus installer | 15:44 |
| gnarface | maybe you'll like it | 15:44 |
| gnarface | maybe whatever problems you had will turn out to be systemd specific :) | 15:44 |
| Franciman | ahah thanks | 15:44 |
| brocashelm | just remember to use the name daedalus on your sources.list, and not testing | 16:36 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | is itpossible the installer is somehow broken on Daedalus? I got missing texts etc. when installing... | 19:06 |
| brocashelm | which installer are you using? refractainstall (live desktop), netinstall, etc.? | 19:10 |
| gnarface | [NoClan]GoAway: yes, it's possible one of the preview daedalus installers is broken. you can still run testing by upgrading from chimaera, so it is worth trying a chimaera installer if you can't get daedalus to work. | 19:47 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | gnarface, thanks for the reply. the installer itself is working, yet reading what it asks you is difficult for some dialogues, i.e. setting the root password, creating users/passwords or partitioning the drives. | 20:28 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | brocashelm, I used the the one from the netinstall.iso | 20:28 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | tbh, I would not have thought that the installer itself would change dialogue fields etc. when used in a newer version of the distro | 20:29 |
