@stanz . . . talk.devuan.org is mostly obsolete. But if chillfan sent you there it's probably OK. Seems the whole site is non-functional . . .
You might look at this classic how-to. Even I can follow that. That method wouldn't be acceptable for official packages though.
It looks like a network problem:
18 if-ae-11-2.tcore1.ad1-amsterdam.as6453.net (80.231.152.26) 144.823 ms 142.150 ms 156.199 ms

20 * * *Problem is in Amsterdam it seems. News flash: the server has been moth-balled. Backup not restored yet and no ETA for when or if that will happen.

This touches on the kind of issues that you are having:

as does this email:

Unfortunately, I am bewildered with which packages are needed for what so you'll have to figure it out on your own (or maybe fsmithred will stop by).

Where to turn, when pm starts slowing down & gets bloated?
xkill works a treat and when you reopen PM, the killed browser session pops up and asks if you want to restore.

FYI, this is the classic how-to for building Debian packages:

Anyways in my opinion the most pragmatic approach would be to build a package with the proposed changes and host it at a custom repo (kinda like the old debian multimedia repo) first.
Pragmatic for whom? Certainly not Devuan as we have our hands more than full. Besides, there is already a process where "improved" and new packages can move from experimental to testing to the main repo. If you want to offer a new, forked or altered Devuan/Debian package, work on it at git.devuan.org. For packaging instructions, please read about the d1h packaging helper. And be prepared to maintain it for future releases.

The first option disables backports. I have always put a space after the # but don't know whether that's necessary. The second example enables them.

@Ron . . . Not that it would make a difference but are you aware that sudo is not enabled by default in Devuan? Either add it to sudoers or su + root pw to get root permissions
#2713 Re: Devuan » Will Devuan ever stop being based on Debian? » 2018-04-30 21:11:57
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.
#2714 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [Miyo] Kernel questions » 2018-04-30 18:28:24
No, never use Debian repos directly. The backports repo is available via devuan at:
http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-backports main contrib non-freeor
http://auto.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-backports main contrib non-free#2715 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [Miyo] How to set daily trim job? [SOLVED] » 2018-04-29 22:25:32
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.

I think you're describing "auto login". In the the config file of your dm (whatever that is) there should be an option to toggle yes/no. I think there is even an option to set that during installation but I don't do that often enough to be sure.

Maybe the builder of the PI3 images just doesn't read the forum?
Exactly. #devuan-arm (ping parazyd) and https://git.devuan.org/sdk/arm-sdk/issues/ are excellent places to catch his attention.

Debian is already a great distribution in itself. So, there's no need to modify anything about it, in my opinion (besides removing the systemd component).
It is obvious you have no idea what 'removing the systemd component' involves. More grandiose, empty 'opinions' from the gnat that keeps buzzing in our ears . . .
