Friends, On 30th June 2020, Debian was scheduled to end its Long Term Support (LTS) for Debian 8 ('Jessie')[1]. As a result, the Devuan Project will be archiving its first release, codename Jessie. Since Jessie will receive no further maintenance or updates (including security fixes), it will be removed from Devuan's mirror network to a new Devuan service that has been set up to hold historical archived releases[2].
If you are still using Devuan Jessie, please upgrade to Devuan ASCII (or via ASCII to Beowulf) as a matter of urgency. Any users with very old x86 hardware (pure Pentium class processors) please note that Debian dropped support for i586 in Debian 9 ('Stretch')[3] so ASCII and subsequent releases will not work for you. Also, the deprecated package repositories on http://packages.devuan.org and http://auto.mirror.devuan.org have only been maintained for compatibility with Devuan Jessie. They will be decommissioned very shortly. We kindly ask all users of Devuan ASCII and Beowulf to ensure that they are using http://deb.devuan.org in their APT sources lists.
