Dear Devuaners, the Devuan team is currently working towards a Release Candidate for Devuan 2 "ASCII". Most of the parts should be already in place, but particularly in the policykit/consolekit/elogind area we are in need of some more thorough testing in order to guarantee correct installation of any of the supported desktop environments as well as smooth upgrades of existing installations.
Here is where you can make a valuable contribution: If you happen to have a spare Devuan (Jessie|ASCII) or a Debian (Jessie|Stretch) desktop machine (virtual or hardware) that you feel brave enough to sacrifice for testing the upgrade paths - please do so! Ideally, you should report any irregularities you encounter in this thread. The main observation focus should be set on session related functionality, especially the ability to user mount removable drives and to restart or shutdown the machine using the controls offered by the respective desktop environment. Furthermore, testing fresh installs in various configurations using the latest ASCII mini.iso [1] will be much appreciated, although we should already have a pretty good coverage in that area, but more testing is always a Good Thing[TM]. Thank you very much, any help you can offer is much appreciated!
