It seems the discussion is a tad missing the point, since a) devuan is _not_ anti-systemd but rather _pro_ freedom-of-choice. It just happens that recently a set of packages around and including systemd is defeating that freedom in debian and thus per definition of devuan goals will not be allowed to make it into the devuan repos. b) I almost shot my powder in above detail for a), but since any package allowed to go into devuan will need to respect freedom of choice, there's no need for any "contaminated" repo for a particular (set of) package(s). In short: when ever systemd packages would go into devuan, they will be patched so they respect freedom. You cannot install any freedom-killing- systemd from devuan repo since there's none - not even in a contaminated repo - and so any other packages in devuan(!) repo will not depend on such freedom- killer either for details on how all this works on apt level with the devuan overlay over debian, you rather ask nextime. My guess would be that all rogue stuff like systemd simply doesn't show up in devuan's packages.gz, and thus any package depending on it would run into unmet dependencies when trying to install it. /j -- () ascii ribbon campaign /\ against html e-mail - against proprietary attachments http://www.georgedillon.com/web/html_email_is_evil.shtml http://www.nonhtmlmail.org/campaign.html http://www.georgedillon.com/web/html_email_is_evil_still.shtml http://www.gerstbach.at/2004/ascii/ (German)
