Today we are able to start testing the PepDevuan (Excalibur) build. If you have some time please feel free to test it out and let us know any feedback you may have.
What to expect:
It looks and feels exactly like PepDebian… :-)
What is different:
- Non Sysd
- Took out the legacy sources.list not used, in this build its fully Deb822 and uses the etc/apt/sources.list.d for it’s source management
- With this build we will start signing gpg signatures.
- Not compiled with the live-build tools from Debian
How to verify the files.
- For the check sum
sha512sum -c peppermint_devuan-amd64.iso.sha512 - For the signature
- Import the public key:
gpg --import peppermintos_public.key - Verify : gpg –verify peppermint_devuan-amd64.iso.sig peppermint_devuan-amd64.iso
- Import the public key:
You can find all the files here:
https://nightly.peppermintos.org/dev64/flagship/
When you boot, search or install on the “menu”
Please not this is testing, please don’t be surprised by any bugs.
As always Thank you so much to all the community and support

Thanks Pep Team.
. Excalibur has been released now for testing purposes. It says that you are no longer using ‘sources.list’ but etc/apt/sources.list.d insrtead for list management.
The instructions on devuan.org are for changing the sources.list file so for those trying an upgrade, they would copy the commands at devuan.org straight into etc/apt/sources.list.d instead ?. Would we just change the wording from bookworm to trixie and from daedalus to excalibur on the peppermint list and add the devuan commands as another file alongside the mutlimedia and peppermint lists already there ?
Thanks for any update and all your hard work.
