| se73n | I want to migrate from an ubuntu-based distro called Armbian and change its repos to use Devuan. I do not know if this method of migration is possible. | 06:57 |
|---|---|---|
| gnarface | it might work | 06:59 |
| gnarface | if you can just isolate the ubuntu kernel, modules, and boot loader, they are known to work with a clean devuan rootfs | 07:00 |
| gnarface | and on other architectures, upgrade is known to usually work | 07:00 |
| gnarface | so i'd say it's worth a try but make a backup first if it's anything important | 07:00 |
| gnarface | the typical issues are version conflicts, usually you can iron them out by uninstalling conflicting ubuntu packages ahead of time then installing the devuan versions afterwards | 07:01 |
| gnarface | (just as long as the package in question isn't one of these: http://packages.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt) | 07:02 |
| onefang | Certainly worth trying a dry run first. | 07:05 |
