Hi all
currently I operate one server with devuan beowulf and
2 Notebooks with debian buster.
Migration is pending to devuan, as soon as a necessity arises, e.g. buster is
becoming oldstable.
Off Topic : the necessity has arisen now, as systemd produces huge
logfiles, 0,9 GByte in 10 hours worth of log,
thens hold only last 10 hours due to space limitations (keeps 10%
free). These json-logs are a mess, except for illiterates.
I Noted that /etc/debian_version on the debian driven notebooks is at 10.7 ,
but on the devuan server it is still at 10.0
There are a number of files which contain info about the actual status of the
installation
but the info in debian-basefiles, is misleading, as the system is uptodate
otherwise.
Debian :
lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release: 10
Codename: buster
cat /etc/debian_version
10.7
aptitude show base-files
Package: base-files
Version: 10.3+deb10u7
Essential: yes
State: installed
...
Description: Debian base system miscellaneous files
...
devuan :
lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Devuan GNU/Linux 3 (beowulf)
Release: 3
Codename: beowulf
cat /etc/debian_version
10.0
While the system is up to date,
debian_version is misleading.
This is more a bug than a feature.
It takes some digging to see that.
The referencing to debian is not consistent.
Better the file /etc/debian_version is missing @devuan than it is wrong.
