I was also on 52.9 ESR until a few days ago when I finally upgraded.  It is a bit of a clusterf**k and several days later I'm still trying to get it back close to where it was.  It's now in a somewhat acceptable state.  But since I use it for very few things anymore, it's not a biggie.

@bobmon . . . you might want to drop into #devuan-arm on freenode.  parazyd does not frequent this forum.

This response from riseup:

So if you're using Devuan, their VPN isn't going to work for you.

Well, it was educational.  The banking system is all smoke and mirrors or house of cards . . . pick your metaphor . . .  Jaromil's objection iiuc is that this crypto would be tied to individuals through their FB accounts (not anonymous) so  detailed profiles of very personal preferences and habits can be assembled that could be used to further commodify personal data.

This is true but  OT for this thread which is about the surveillance potential of zuck bucks,.  Please restrain yourself HoaS and try to keep on topic.

Yes, there is!  You'll find documentation here.  I'm not 100% sure if you can go directly from Wheezy or need to upgrade to Debian Jessie first.  Gnome is a no-go so the suggestion is to switch to Xfce before the upgrade.  Devuan has the same firmware available as Debian.

Note that in sources.list, jessie-updates is no longer in use for old-stable so would throw errors.

Reopening this thread to see if it can stay on-topic and away from the irrelevancies of  political ideology.

There is also a post about this from last month on riseup.net and this was the reply:

I have requested a notification if this package ever gets finished.

OMG!  Not another thread about this . . .

Thanks for taking a look.  That actually surprised me so good for you!

There are some other ideas here:

But the real issue is somewhere here:

Speculation is not useful; it's a foolish pastime.  We have a lot of work to do before we can even begin to sort those issues.  It's best to just put one foot in front of the other in the present moment and we'll get there eventually.

List of banned Debian packages.  Some may never be decontaminated of systemd.

List of Devuan packages.  Not all of them are systemd-related.
