# Devuan meet 2022-02-03 @20:30 UTC

Present: fsmithred, golinux, LeePen, hendrik, bb|hcb, rrq

## Old Business

## Old Actions

## New Business

### LeePen
* Fixed creation of source deb-override(5)s in dak when adding packages.
* Packaging updates:

1. chimaera-security: util-linux/2.36.1-8+devuan2
2. ceres: tasksel, distro-info-data

#### Devuan Version Numbering [Blocked migration of
debian-installer](https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/britney/daedalus/excuses.html)
and 1.) above demonstrates our version numbering is broken:
* Debian bullseye has 2.36.1-8 which was forked in chimaera as
2.36.1-8+devuan1.
* Debian security then got 2.36.1-8+deb11u1 which can't be packaged as
2.36.1-8+deb11u1+devuan1 as it represents a downgrade. (bb|hcb)
Shouldn't that be reversed: 2.36.1-8+devuan1+deb11u1? My proposal is
to drop the `'+'` and just use `'devuanN'`. Other alternative
suggestions to address this are welcome!

### bb|hcb
* Created python-apt-common-devuan package with templates and mirror
list for synaptic
* In the process of preparing build host for arm

### fsmithred
* Can I add basic-update-notifier to experimental repo?
https://git.devuan.org/fsmithred/basic-update-notifier (LeePen) It
doesn't build for me: http://dpaste.com/3KF3R9GME I don't think it
should be a native package.
