On the devuan welcome page it says the current stable release is Beowulf
3.0.0 with a link to
https://devuan.org/os/announce/beowulf-stable-announce

Generally, why does apparmor get installed on a dist-upgrade, when it
wasn't there initially? It isn't as if it's a new "thing". I got it
on my ascii -> beowulf upgrade, and removed it.
My desktop was LXQt and the upgrade ignored some customisations. Among

Hi, I'm seeking advice.
I need a more upto date version of QGIS, geographical information system,
than is in ASCII - I need a version 3.
On the QGIS downloads site ...
https://qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#linux
It gives info for adding to sources.list for debian/ubuntu systems.
