francisco1892Hello! I was wondering if I could get a rough estimate of how much free space is required for a Devuan mirror. Thank you!16:25
golinuxfrancisco1892: https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan_mirror_walkthrough.txt16:27
hagbardI currently takes about 151GB for package repositories + installation media.16:27
golinuxThat info should be in there somewhere16:27
francisco1892Ah, thanks. I will take a look16:28
francisco1892One question, could the package mirror be located under /pub/devuan instead of just /devuan? I can change it, it's just that the rest of my mirrors are under /pub/16:50
hagbardYou would then have to put some rules in your webserver to rewrite those paths so that it wouldn't make a difference to clients/users.17:02
francisco1892Alright, sure thing17:02
bb|hcbTo be more precise, you can use any path. Only in case your package mirror becomes part of the DNS round robin, then the path should be /merged, i.e. the package part served as /18:27
bb|hcbModern web servers allow configuring paths per domain, so it is OK to have both18:27

francisco1892Got it, thanks! I've already sent an email with all the info from the walkthrough.18:30
InnitSomethinhello everyone, could you please point me to the right place to begin working on a debian > devuan or source > devuan program conversion?21:03
masonInnitSomethin: What program do you want to have run on Devuan? Or do you want to package something for Devuan?21:25
hagbardIf you want to get new software into Devuan, the best way would be to get it into Debian first.21:29
InnitSomethin@mason and @hagbard thank you for your replies. MullvadVPN makes an opensource app for their vpn, there are packages in the AUR for multiple inits, and they release a DEB and RPM23:08
hagbardInnitSomethin: See https://wiki.debian.org/RFP for who/how to ask for a package in debian. If it lands in debian, it will automatically be in devuan.23:14

InnitSomethin@hagbard, thank you for your help.23:24
InnitSomethinlooks like there was already a proposal for mullvad-client, but the efforts have since been discontinued...message into the devs23:33
InnitSomethinmessage to offer help, not request more of the former maintainers23:43
bb|hcbThe problem is that the client is not OSS, that is the reason the effort got stalled23:48
InnitSomethinok, maybe the old package was but now they have https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app23:50
InnitSomethinand it's GPL323:51
