Devuan does have already its own /etc/devuan_version which can be symlinked from /etc/debian_version especially since the correct value its jessie for both. Yet I believe we should file this as a bug as /etc/debian_version is not there on new installs. The /etc/debian_version file is checked by an enormous quantity of scripts in all sorts of deployements, we have encountered this problem also with Vagrant, that I remember. So we shall keep that file around and fill it with the Debian version we use to fallback packages in each release, that is so far: Jessie -> Jessie Ascii -> Stretch After Ascii is yet to be seen if we'll keep relying on Debian. ciao _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
