We should all keep in mind that not all repos have "wheezy" as an option; some only have stable/testing/unstable. That may prove troublesome for some of us in the future. My primary desktop has already been assimilated by the systemd collective. As soon as we get a stable image of Devuan running, I will rebuild my desktop for the first time in 4 years. Good luck!

I might be new to Debian, so this is quite surprised me that there is restricted option in choosing the repositories. But I have been using Debian since Debian 3.0 - woody and as far as I have experienced the repository is always configurable. So I can choose either to use the release name, e.g. jessie, wheezy, etc., or to use the distribution name, e.g. stable, testing, or unstable.

Every time I install Debian from ISO image, the repository will be set to the release name from where I downloaded it. But then I can change it to the distribution name. I usually change it to testing distribution when I want to use newer versions of packages.

It looks like Devuan will follow this setup as well.

Did I miss something about this?

Cheers,

Anto
