yes, there is a 2.1 ready and most of it is thanks to the passionate work of volunteers, among the few fsmithred, rrq, golinux, centuriondan and evilham. I believe there wouldn't be this point release without them. Only the VM and ARM images are lagging behind, which is mostly my fault. The place of reference is always files.devuan.org and the release notes are updated https://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/Release_notes.txt Devuan's history can be easily traced connecting people and versions, which also shows how much of the sustainability of our project is bound to individual initiative and vision. Devuan is not resilient. If Debian stops providing the forest around our cultivated patch, our plants will die. the VUA will announce the 2.1 point release tomorrow, on Monday. I believe all of us are motivated to continue in our best capacity to support Devuan, but I really do not want to see any of the great people involved burn out because of an incommensurable challenge. what we can also try is to scale Devuan's effort with an enterprise approach, but then we need clear commitment from at least one strong and reliable industrial partner. all this of course IMHO, I'm not speaking for Devuan, but sharing with you my personal opinions on this project ciao _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
