Devuan 6.1 Released For Latest Debian 13 "Init Freedom" Without systemd

([Debian] 4 Hours Ago Devuan 6.1)


Released back in November was [1]Devuan 6.0 for Debian 13 without systemd dependence in order to provide "init freedom" with letting users instead opt for SysVinit, OpenRC, or Runit as the init system. Devuan 6.1 is out today as the newest stable point release.

Devuan 6.1 brings down the latest Debian 13 "Trixie" package updates while continuing to provide the "init freedom" with otherwise being bound to systemd usage. The whole focus of [2]Devuan remains around providing Debian GNU/Linux without being bound to systemd.

No release announcement has been issued for Devuan 6.1 to outline any other possible changes on the Devuan side with this point release, but in any event those wanting to grab this very latest ISO refresh can find Devuan 6.1 via their [3]ISO mirrors .

"Seven years and six months!" Humpty Dumpty repeated thoughtfully.
"An uncomfortable sort of age. Now if you'd asked MY advice, I'd have
said 'Leave off at seven' -- but it's too late now."
"I never ask advice about growing," Alice said indignantly.
"Too proud?" the other enquired.
Alice felt even more indignant at this suggestion. "I mean,"
she said, "that one can't help growing older."
"ONE can't, perhaps," said Humpty Dumpty; "but TWO can. With
proper assistance, you might have left off at seven."
