I'm not sure what are the opinions here, but I'm still somehow reluctant to remove the devuan-baseconf completely because it is handy to have an install package that can also set pinning files in the extreme case we need them. So far for instance pinning is important to be able to safely use security updates from Debian. But then we may simply go for transparency above all, know-what-you-do and recommend people copy lines by hand, perhaps better no? ciao _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
