hi Jaromil,

see my message from 2.Sept,
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20160902.080447.f4e2b3e2.en.html

citation:
"Vagrant has already a configuration option where the guest os can be set when 
the auto-detection fails. 

https://devuan.org/os/documentation/install-on-a-virtual-machine 
config.vm.guest = :debian 

Of course a devuan plugin would make all this unnecessary. 
But before i can file a bug, or maybe create a devuan plugin, i must know which 
is the preferred way to identify devuan. 
grepping /etc/issues 
or 
grepping /etc/os-release 
or 
?“


cheers,
Attila
