| neoncortex | first off, I want to say this is great. I'm experimenting with devuan, and it is great. The only thing, and that is the same as debian, the repositories are a little poor. For example, no qmplay2, and I'm curious about the packages: it uses the packages from debian? Or they are made from scratch for devuan? | 09:22 |
|---|---|---|
| rrq | most packages are directly from debian's repositories. | 09:27 |
| rrq | only the forked packages are from devuan repository | 09:27 |
| rrq | -ies | 09:27 |
| neoncortex | I see. Only the things that would require systemd, or the like. | 09:28 |
| rrq | yes. forked packagesa re made systemd-free | 09:29 |
| neoncortex | that is cool, so I can keep using the things I have learned over the years. | 09:31 |
| cousin_luigi | What will happen should debian decide to drop multi-init? | 10:26 |
| rrq | please keep this channel for support issues and use #devuan-offtopic for other discussions | 10:29 |
| zmoment | Hi, I'm trying to install incus, but apt says that incus depends on qemu-system-x86 >= 1:8.0 but 1:7.2+dfsg is to be installed. Anything I can do? Or have to wait for some change? | 23:22 |
| debdog | is this on Testing/Excalibur or arebackports involved? | 23:25 |
| zmoment | On Daedalus | 23:25 |
| zmoment | Had backports active in /etc/apt /sources.list, yes. | 23:27 |
| debdog | where did you get that package? I can't find it in the repos | 23:27 |
| zmoment | Now, that those backports lines were commented, apt cannot find incus. | 23:27 |
| debdog | I see | 23:27 |
| zmoment | It seems I have to wait for a new version of Devuan. | 23:28 |
| gnarface | https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=%5Eincus%24&x=submit | 23:28 |
| debdog | https://backports.debian.org/changes/bullseye-backports.html hmm, package not thereeither | 23:28 |
| gnarface | pkginfo says it's in daedalus-backports, excalibur and ceres | 23:29 |
| gnarface | logic dictates that the missing dependencies must also be in daedalus-backports | 23:29 |
| debdog | ahhh https://backports.debian.org/changes/bookworm-backports.html my bad | 23:29 |
| gnarface | zmoment: no, it doesn't look like you need to wait for a new release. it looks like you just need to also get qemu-system-x86 from daedalus-backports | 23:30 |
| gnarface | qemu-system-x86 1:9.2.2+ds-1~bpo12+1 present in daedalus-backports: https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=%5Eqemu-system-x86%24&x=submit | 23:31 |
| zmoment | Can I choose that newer version of qemu-system? Never done such. | 23:31 |
| gnarface | should work, though i can't claim to have tried this version myself | 23:32 |
| gnarface | if the system is something mission critical you should always make a backup first of course just in case | 23:32 |
| debdog | just do a try run, see what response/error you get | 23:32 |
| debdog | (with aptitude that would be option -s (--simulate)) | 23:34 |
| gnarface | i would expect it requires getting all of the qemu components from there as well | 23:34 |
| zmoment | I could install incus (and qemu-system). Thank you very much, gnarface and debdog! | 23:40 |
| zmoment | And learned something new today. | 23:40 |
| debdog | \o/ | 23:41 |
| gnarface | no problem zmoment | 23:50 |
