Subject: [DNG] devuan-baseconf package versions and repositories
Hello,

Before trying out Devuan I was perusing each devuan-baseconf version
and found out that they differ on which Devuan repository gets written
by default to sources.list.

This is relevant if you're upgrading to Devuan from Debian Wheezy (oldstable).

If you're running Debian stable, testing or unstable, then
sources.list gets updated to the corresponding Devuan repository. BUT
if you're running Wheezy, then the package's default repository gets
set:

0.6.4+devuan1 = jessie
0.6.4+devuan2 = ascii
0.6.4+devuan3 = ceres

So to upgrade Wheezy, devuan-baseconf_0.6.4+devuan1_all.deb should be
installed. This way it isn't needed to modify sources.list again,
manually.

I was about to install 0.6.4+devuan3 because 3>1 ;)

AFAIK this hasn't been documented elsewhere?
