Re: [DNG] Upgrade & migrate?
I stand to be corrected, but I think not supported simply means if you get yourself into trouble, you keep the pieces, not that it can't be done. I upgraded a couple of systems from Ascii directly to Chimaera a while ago, and it went well for the most part. From what I recall, I had to intervene to resolve cryptsetup-initramfs and cryptsetup-bin by hand, and maybe another package or two. I am not recommending someone try that, unless you feel comfortable dealing with dpkg, and have a fairly good grasp of manually resolving package dependencies. If someone reads this, tries skipping devuan versions and ends up with a mess, I'm not responsible.

[DNG] Upgrade & migrate?
Hi. I notice that https://www.devuan.org/ states that "Devuan Chimaera can be installed as an upgrade from Devuan Beowulf or migrated from Debian Bullseye. Note that skipping releases is not supported." I seem to recall that earlier releases could be: - migrated from the equivalent Debian release (eg: Buster -> Beowulf) - upgraded from the previous Devuan release (eg: Ascii -> Beowulf) - upgraded and migrated from the previous Debian release (eg: Stretch -> Beowulf) Is that last option still valid for eg: Buster -> Chimaera? Thanks, Antony. -- It may not seem obvious, but (6 x 5 + 5) x 5 - 55 equals 5!

Thanks for that pointer. I'd completely lost track of time (eight [8] _years_ of Devuan!) I've been running Devuan since then (unstable for the last few years, with zero problems). Thanks Devuan developers! I can't help with coding, but I can at least slip the distro a few dollars to defray my continuous downloads.
