Devuan Beowulf (but not Chimaera) image building now reporting error

[adam-burns]

I recently updated and merged the build scripts, then started to get image build failures

make image
make pri-image
make rpi2+3-image
make rpi3-image

all succeed for Chimaera, but fail for Beowulf with logs ending with

Ah, OK. Under Debian/Devuan they are in nonfree, not main.

On an existing Devuan Chimaera RPi3, changed /etc/apt/sources.list to include contrib & nonfree

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security main contrib non-free

and the packages are visible. But still not sure as to why different observed behaviour occurs between dist versions.

I removed Buster and Beowulf from the builder and the sources.list for Beowulf isn't the same as the one used in Chimaera.

I could add them back, but I assume most of the world has moved on from them. Buster EOL is 2022-08. As for older imgs, fetch will still support the older imgs until EOL date.

Ah! That would explain it ... %°}

Most of the world probably has ... For future reference for those searching, I've provided archival RPi Devuan Beowulf images here.

FYI, Daedalus is now actively defined in Devuan mirrors, currently linked to testing but will be next stable release after Chimaera.

[pyavitz]

I'll add Bookworm and Daedalus.

Thanx.

I'll add Bookworm and Daedalus.

Awesome. Thanks so much for your work in maintaining this.
