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.

You might also want to look at these guides:

https://devuan.org/os/documentation/ins … evuan.html
https://devuan.org/os/documentation/ins … stall.html
https://devuan.org/os/documentation/ins … e-gui.html

Those links are on the Download page of the devuan.org website.

(S)He who does not seek will not find.

More than 2 Debian devs hang out with Devuan.  And no . . . I'm not going to list names.   

Or Debian will come to its senses by allowing init freedom at installation and requiring packages to support all init options.

Have you read the Release Notes?  Plenty of tips in there that might help you sort this.  Those notes are for ascii.  I guessed because you didn't specify which release you were on.

I can confirm all of the above.   When in a mood HoaS can be an equal opportunity offender who "blesses" many forums with his presence.  His track record on this forum to date has actually been fairly benign compared to what has happened elsewhere.  I also know that there can be no offense if none is taken.  Let it be like water on a duck's back.  I'm all for "free speech" but if things get too disruptive, there is always the big, red "time out" button. 

Thanks HoaS.
