HOORAY to the one and only MIYO!!

At some point we may have to clone the debian repos onto our infrastructure to preserve them from further systemd intrusion.  Then we would be independent from debian.  But pulling that off would require an influx of volunteers with ninja skills to handle the workload of keeping packages from upstream current.

As to Mint . . . it is NOT recommended to mix Devuan repos even with other Debian derivatives.  It could put you into a whole world of hurt.  If you do try that, backup first and check dependency versions against those available in Devuan.  Then cross your fingers and recite the appropriate incantations.

Welcome back mlsmith.  We have missed you!!

Exactly.   #devuan-arm (ping parazyd) and https://git.devuan.org/sdk/arm-sdk/issues/ are excellent places to catch his attention.

The *kit backends are not fully sorted in ascii. This post should point you in the right direction:

This is what's in the script.

/home/parazyd/arm-sdk/

You might like to know that parazyd builds all of the arm stuff.

Surely this is a typo: /home/paralyzd/arm-sdk....

Geesh . . . I was just trying to help but that will likely be the last time. 

Just something to think about . . . very few things in this world are under our 'control'.  The control that we do have  is in the mind that perceives the uncontrollable.   There is truth in what you say but it has taken you down quite a rabbit hole.  Please stop trying to pull us in with you.  Wasted bits and bytes . . .

Here's a suggestion . . . do you know that devuan has no-systemd version of tails?

That might suit you perfectly.

Ever consider a walk in the woods or on the beach?

Congrats!  Are you a scruffy old graybeard?  You probably look too intelligent to be chosen.
