> ## Introduction
>
> This document includes technical notes relevant to Devuan 5 Daedalus.
>
> Devuan 5 Daedalus is based on Debian 12 Bookworm. Much of the information
> in
> [Debian's Release
> Notes](https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/releasenotes)
> is relevant and useful. They should be consulted alongside this document.
>
> More information and support on specific issues can be obtained by:
>
> - subscribing to the [DNG mailing
> list](https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng)
>
> - visiting the [Devuan user forum](https://dev1galaxy.org)
>
> - asking on one of the [Devuan IRC channels](irc://irc.libera.chat) on
> libera.chat:
>
> * `#devuan` - general discussion and support about Devuan
> * `#devuan-arm` - specific support for ARM
>
>
> ## New in this Release
> ### Rootless startx uses libseat1
>
> xserver-xorg-core now uses libseat1 to control rootless startx and access
> to
> input and video devices. This has several advantages, the most significant
> being
> that it removes the dbus dependency from xserver-xorg-core.
>
> libseat1 can use either seatd or elogind as a
> backend. If you need to override the default choice (autodiscovery), use
> the
> LIBSEAT_BACKEND environment variable.
>
> If you are using seatd as the backend, ensure the user is a member of the
> video group.
>
> This is only relevant to running startx as a user, xorg run as root by a
> display
> manager is unaffected.
>
> ### Wayland GUI without elogind
>
> Users can now enjoy a wayland desktop without elogind by installing
> libpam-ck-connector, sway and seatd.
>
> Ensure the relevant user is a member of the `video` group and run sway
> from
> the terminal.
>
> ## Getting Devuan 5 Daedalus
>
> Devuan 5 Daedalus is available for i386, amd64, armel, armhf, arm64 and
> ppc64el
> architectures.
>
> Installer isos and live CDs for i386 and amd64 are [available for
> download](http://files.devuan.org/devuan_daedalus/) at
> http://files.devuan.org/devuan_daedalus/.
>
> Mini isos and other specialist installation media for all release
> architectures
> are available from
> http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/dists/daedalus/main/installer-{ARCH}/current/images/.
>
> Please consider using one of the many
> [mirrors](https://devuan.org/get-devuan),
> listed at [https://devuan.org/get-devuan](https://devuan.org/get-devuan).
>
> Detailed instructions on how to use each image are available in the
> corresponding `README.txt` file. The `SHA256SUMS` of each set of images is
> signed by the developer in charge of the build. The fingerprints of [GPG
> keys of
> all Devuan developers]( https://devuan.org/os/team) are listed at
> [https://devuan.org/os/team](https://devuan.org/os/team).
>
> In order to check that the images you downloaded are genuine and not
> corrupted, you should:
>
> - download the image(s)
> - download the corresponding `SHA256SUMS` and `SHA256SUMS.asc` files in
> the same
> folder
> - verify the checksums by running:
>
> > `sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS`
>
> (it could complain about missing files, but should show an "OK" close to
> the
> images you have actually downloaded)
>
> - verify the signature running:
>
> > `gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ./devuan-devs.gpg --verify
> SHA256SUMS.asc`
>
> (assuming that you have put the GPG keys in the keyring named
> `devuan-devs.gpg`. YMMV)
>
> The `devuan-devs.gpg` keyring is provided only for convenience. The most
> correct
> procedure to verify that the signatures are authentic is by downloading
> the
> relevant public keys from a trusted keyserver, double-check that the
> fingerprint
> of the key matches that of the developer reported on
> [https://devuan.org/os/team](https://devuan.org/os/team) and then use that
> key
> for verification.
>
> ### Docker images
>
> Official Devuan Docker container images are [available from the Docker
> Hub](https://hub.docker.com/u/devuan). These images are updated as needed
> for all maintained releases. To get the latest image for Daedalus execute
>
>> `docker pull devuan/devuan:daedalus`
>
> For further details on the images, please consult the information on
> Docker Hub.
>
> ## Upgrading to Devuan 5 Daedalus
>
> A direct and easy upgrade path from Devuan Chimaera and a migration path
> from
> Debian Bookworm to Devuan 5 Daedalus are [available](
> https://devuan.org/os/install) at
> [https://devuan.org/os/install](https://devuan.org/os/install).
>
> If you already have Daedalus installed, run this command to get to the
> current
> release version:
>
>> `apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade`
>
> ## Notes on Specific Packages and Issues
>
> ### Consolekit
>
> Upstream maintenance of
> [Consolekit2](https://github.com/ConsoleKit2/ConsoleKit2) has
> resumed. [Consolekit](https://pkginfo.devuan.org/consolekit) is therefore
> a good
> alternative to [elogind](https://pkginfo.devuan.org/elogind) for session
> tracking and management.
>
> ## Devuan Package Repositories
>
> Thanks to the support of many volunteers and donors, Devuan has a network
> of
> package repository mirrors. The mirror network is accessible using the
> FQDN
> [deb.devuan.org](http://deb.devuan.org).
>
>
> deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main
> deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-security main
> deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-updates main
> deb http://deb.devuan.org/devuan daedalus-proposed main
>
>
> Along with the above URLs, the repositories are also accessible
> using the Tor network, by using our hidden service address:
>
> deb tor+http://devuanfwojg73k6r.onion/merged daedalus main
> deb tor+http://devuanfwojg73k6r.onion/merged daedalus-security main
> deb tor+http://devuanfwojg73k6r.onion/merged daedalus-updates main
> deb tor+http://devuanfwojg73k6r.onion/devuan daedalus-proposed main
>
> More information is available at
> [https://devuan.org/os/packages](https://devuan.org/os/packages).
>
> All the mirrors contain the full Devuan package repository (all the Devuan
> releases and all the suites). They are synced every 30 minutes from the
> main
> Devuan package repository (`pkgmaster.devuan.org`) and are continuously
> checked
> for sanity, integrity, and consistency. The package repository network is
> accessed through a DNS Round-Robin.
>
> The updated list of mirrors belonging to the network is available at
> [http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt](http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt).
>
> If you wish to use a geographically local mirror, you can use
> http://${CC}.deb.devuan.org where ${CC} is the CountryCode. If no mirror
> is
> available in that country the URL will still work, although there will be
> no
> advantage.
>
> Users could also opt for directly accessing one of the mirrors in that
> list using the corresponding BaseURL.
>
> IMPORTANT NOTE: The package mirrors at
> [deb.devuan.org](http://deb.devuan.org)
> are signed with the following GPG key:
>
> pub rsa2048 2014-12-02 [SC]
> 72E3CB773315DFA2E464743D94532124541922FB
> uid Devuan Repository (Primary Devuan signing key)
> <repository@???>
> sub rsa2048 2014-12-02 [E]
> sub rsa4096 2016-04-26 [S]
>
> The key is included in the current [devuan-keyring
> package](http://pkginfo.devuan.org/devuan-keyring).
>
>
> ## Non-free firmware
>
> All Devuan 5 Daedalus installation media make non-free firmware packages
> available at install time. In the majority of the cases, these packages
> are
> needed (and will be installed) only if your hardware (usually wifi
> adapter)
> requires them. It is possible to avoid the automatic installation and
> loading of
> needed non-free firmware by choosing the "Expert install" option in the
> installation menu.
>
> Devuan 5 Daedalus desktop-live and minimal-live images come with non-free
> firmware packages pre-installed. You have the option of removing those
> non-free
> firmware packages from the desktop-live and minimal-live after boot, using
> the
> `remove_firmware.sh` script available under `/root`.
>
>
> ## Devuan package information pages
>
> Devuan provides a service to display information about all the packages
> available in Devuan. This can be accessed at [https://pkginfo.devuan.org](
> https://pkginfo.devuan.org).
>
> It is possible to search for package names matching a set of keywords, and
> to
> visualise the description, dependencies, suggestions and recommendations
> of each
> package.
>
> ## Reporting bugs
>
> No piece of software is perfect. And acknowledging this fact is the
> first step towards improving our software base.
>
> Devuan strongly believes in the cooperation of the community to find,
> report and
> solve issues. If you think you have found a bug in a Devuan package,
> please
> report it to [https://bugs.devuan.org](https://bugs.devuan.org).
>
> The procedure to report bugs is quite simple: install and run `reportbug`,
> a
> tool that will help you compiling the bug report and including any
> relevant
> information for the maintainers.
>
> `reportbug` assumes than you have a properly configured Mail User Agent
> that can
> send emails (and that it knows about). If this is not the case, you can
> still
> prepare your bug report with `reportbug`, save it (by default reportbug
> will
> save the report under `/tmp`), and then use it as a template for an email
> to
> [submit@???](mailto:submit@bugs.devuan.org).
>
> (NOTE: Devuan does not provide an open SMTP relay for `reportbug`
> yet. If you don't know what this is about, you can safely ignore this
> information).
>
> When the bug report is processed, you will receive an email
> confirmation indicating the number associated to the report.
>
> Before reporting a bug, please check whether the very same problem has
> been already experienced and reported by other users.
>
> In general, issues with Devuan's own forked packages should be reported to
> [Devuan's BTS](https://bugs.devuan.org). For unforked packages, bugs
> should
> usually be fixed in Debian. `reportbug` handles this and sends to the
> correct
> BTS by default. You can override the choice that `reportbug` offers and
> report
> issues directly to [Debian's BTS](https://bugs.debian.org) by using the
> `-B
> debian` option.
>

> Live long and prosper!
