Thanks a lot for this explanation. I'll try that. But it brings me to
another point:

Is there somewhere a good overview over all possible repositories? And
also how, to get, eventually, devuan testing (ascii)? It's a long time
i did not touch anymore debian so i'm afraid i've forgotten a lot ;)
(And i see many of my settings from slackware are not transportable 1:1)

Thanks a lot in advance!
