Q4OS setup script no longer works with Devuan?

I have used the setup script in the past, as I prefer almost any init system to systemd. I used it to convert Devuan runit installs in the past to Q4OS. At this time, I have a Devuan Excalibur install with the sysv init and was interested in converting it to q4os. However I get the following:

# sh q4os-setup.sh

www.q4os.org
You are going to add Q4OS repositories and setup complete Q4OS system ...
... press 'Enter' to continue, 'Ctrl+C' to cancel ...

Detecting current system ...
... press 'Enter' to continue ...
[I] Distro: Devuan, excalibur
[I] Architecture: amd64
[E:] This system is not ready for Q4OS setup. Exiting ...

Is this current expected behavior, or is there a problem with the script.

Yes, the script doesn't support Devuan Excalibur at the moment.

Thanks for the confirmation. Please post when you have a new version of the script that does support Devuan Excalibur.
