[Ask] Red Hat components, daemons, or services in Devuan

Are there any components, daemons, or services that are enabled by default in Devuan and developed by Red Hat corporation?
You can get rid of systemd and this is a feature Devuan distribution, are there any other packages that are difficult to replace?

Yes, but these lists include all packages from Red Hat repositories, I'm interested in the list of developed Red Hat projects that are installed in system or available in Devuan repositories.

@GermanAizek

try the libaries of the following:
dbus
pulseaudio
networkmanager
avahi
I think wayland?
etc... also dbus itself is also pretty hard if not impossible to remove, not just its libraries.

There's a LOT of stuff in Linux that originated with some red-hatter, I don't know of any way to get a list, but I see redhat in scripts and docs all the time.

Re: [Ask] Red Hat components, daemons, or services in Devuan

Your initial post sounds like you are not aware what Devuan really is in relation to Debian.

Devuan developers look at the packages, if they are systemd or have systemd dependencies. These are replaced. All the rest is pure Debian. And there are some additional init systems that are supported.

If you are interested in which packages are on that list, have a look at https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt
