I understand, but is this forwarding automatic or do I need to add some "extra" apt source lists? Right now I use merged beowulf main/non-free/contrib Thanks, Riccardo ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Any reason for that? Yes, because Devuan itself only contains packages which needed to be modified from the Debian packages, due to Devuan not using systemd. All packages which are not affected by systemd not being present are not included in Devuan, and the repositories simply forward requests through to the equivalent Debian repositories so that you get all the packages you need. Basically, there's no point in Devuan simply duplicating all the packages from Debian which don't need any modification due to systemd.

[DNG] acx wireless support
Hi, I have an ACX 111 wireless PCMCIA card which I want to use on Beowulf. I think Debian supports it with acx-mac80211 and the acx100 is retired. I also need firmware, some package it as acx111-firmware some tell you to download it andput it in /lib/firmware However I see no acx packages at all for Devuan! Any reason for that? Thanks, Riccardo ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
