Decoupling Moode from the OS

Wasn't questioning the power of Emacs---I've known about it since Stallings' GNU project released his first version in 1985 and I struggled to install it on my Apollo Domain workstations; obviously I never became a convert.

A problem at the moment is that the RaspiOS folks are preparing for their next major release. The Buster distro on which moOde 7.4.x is built has been relabelled from stable to oldstable.

If 'sudo apt-get update' fails with the message

Code:

E: Repository 'http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian buster InRelease' changed its 'Suite' value from 'stable' to 'oldstable'
N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details.

Then try 'sudo apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change' which should confirm the change, as in

Code:

pi@rpi3a:~ $ sudo apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change

N: Repository 'http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian buster InRelease' changed its 'Suite' value from 'stable' to 'oldstable'

Now Emacs should install.

It's possible I had run the update sometime ago on the first system I reported and just forgot.
