i found this also if you are interested in looking through it EDX-0, It has some service files for openrc and runit mentioned on the readme.
Not sure if it would port over to devuan as i installed this one on my artixlinux machine that uses openrc init.

Looks like the Debian zram-tools maintainer doesn't care about non-systemd support:

Devuan's runit will use sysvinit scripts. Search the boards if you want a method for setting up proper supervision with runit, it has been covered here before.

For OpenRC see https://github.com/vaeth/zram-init/blob … /zram-init

yeh, i know about the wiki entry, in my opinion using perl in an initscript for something that can be done with a simple awk command is rather dumb

id say submit it to devuan first as a .deb

debian already has zram-tools with the required systemd service files.

there is also this on the wiki in below link buts its self setup.

maybe self plug but, for anyone that wants to use zram in their install i prepared a repo with a service script that does the job, all it needs is zramctl which is part of the util-linux package.

not sure if submitting that to debian or straight up go and try to get it into devuan?
