fsmithredI assume it will happen soon.00:00
fsmithredI see the new version is in ceres. I can install it in chimaera. Is there anything specific I should look for?00:04
fsmithredor was it just a problem with upgrading from beowulf?00:04
bb|hcbfsmithred: from what i saw the other day - there should be two important testcases - 1) converting from udev and 2) upgrading from previous eudev (i'd assume that it does not matter if its beowulf or 3.2.9-9 - it looks like backported to 3.2.9-9~beowulf1)01:04
fsmithredI just upgrade eudev in chimaera and it seems to be working01:05
bb|hcbBut there are two transitional packages for udev in Devuan and there may be some friction with them too01:05
bb|hcbDo you have them installed?01:05
fsmithredchecking...01:06
fsmithred1:3.2.9+devuan401:06
fsmithredyes01:06
bb|hcbI tested with them removed before upgrading 3.2.9-9 to 3.2.9-10 :) Then the upgrade path should be good01:07
fsmithredaptitude says udisks2 depends on it01:07
fsmithred:)01:07
fsmithredyeah, there were no complaints01:07
bb|hcbtrue, but eudev provides udev01:08
fsmithredyeah, I'm about to remove it. I assume that's safe.01:09
bb|hcb100% safe01:10
fsmithredI see I have libudev1 in beowulf. I guess I can remove that too.01:11
bb|hcbBoth are similar... Its normal for transitions to stay for a release cycle, some future eudev will add Breaks/Replaces and they will disappear01:12
bb|hcbAbout the other test case - its more complicated - my guess is to install a fresh bullseye and upgrade it to ceres01:14
bb|hcbI have started doing that test, it will take time...01:59
bb|hcbOK, it worked somehow, but for this conversion there are lots of caveats02:19
bb|hcbWill it be useful to post the console log somewhere?02:23
fsmithredbullseye to ceres?02:25
fsmithredmaybe forum or dng mailing list02:25
bb|hcbno, I managed to do it and it worked, but there were caveats; I am asking if it will be useful to post the log02:30
fsmithredprobably can't hurt to have it recorded. We'll be testing migrations from bullseye to daedelus after chimaera is released, so blsy to ceres now makes sense.02:32
fsmithredok, I think I'm lost in the B's02:33
fsmithredwtf is bullseye?02:33
fsmithredthat just went stable, didn't it?02:33
bb|hcbyep, current stable is bullseye02:33
fsmithredok, yeah. you scouted out some traps for blsy to daedelus.02:34
fsmithredwhich would be both migration and upgrade.02:35
fsmithredmigrations are tricky02:35
bb|hcbThis upgrade was small... It will grow over time02:36
bb|hcbCan you suggest where to post? Its 1100 lines02:37
fsmithredcan you trim it without losing important information?02:38
fsmithredeither forum or dng or devuan-dev mailing list would be good. Forum is actually more durable.02:39
fsmithredmailing lists still lose posts, I think.02:39
fsmithredI'm not sure what the line limits are for any of those.02:40
fsmithredI just asked. Might get an answer.02:41
bb|hcbhttps://gist.github.com/bbonev/699611fd7a61f58d00f8c35c5256e8c302:44
bb|hcbI don't have acct on the forums :(02:45
fsmithredoh, that works. I can post a link on the forum.02:46
fsmithredyou didn't install sysvinit-core?02:55
golinuxfsmithred: You did.  :)02:56
fsmithredwhat?02:56
golinuxGet an answer02:56
masonbb|hcb: Did you do a debootstrap install initially?02:56
fsmithredgolinux, thanks02:56
masonbb|hcb: Anyway, if you want to do a debootstrap install of Debian to start with, you can go straight to sysvinit and not have it force in systemd. https://bpa.st/4MJA02:58
bb|hcbmason: no, plain debian 11 with ssh only; then converted it to Devuan ceres02:59
masonclarified, longer duration paste: https://bpa.st/P7XQ03:00
masonbb|hcb: kk, that works03:00
bb|hcbfsmithred: I followed those: https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/dev1fanboy/en/buster-to-beowulf - there is no sysvinit-core mentioned for manual install and I later realized its missing03:01
bb|hcbMaybe there it is expected sysvinit-core to be pulled by a dependancy that no longer exists in the newer packages?03:01
fsmithredthere are some migration scripts that were written because the dev1fanboy instructions haven't been working lately03:02
bb|hcbMaybe. The point behind what I did is to see how eudev 3.2.9-10 installs over udev - IMHO its OK03:03
fsmithredgood03:06
fsmithredhere's Tito's migration script. This one is desktop oriented: https://git.devuan.org/farmatito/migration03:06
