Hello Everybody,
As I mentioned on
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20150504.064731.04c39de7.en.html,
in my Devuan installation via debootstrap, I had to include
init-system-helpers in order to complete the installation. After the
installation, I purged init-system-helpers but that forced me to remove
cron, logrotate, openssh-server, rsyslog, and ssh packages.
After I had a look on the source of those 5 packages, I actually just
need to re-compile cron, openssh and rsyslog. The logrotate was removed
as it depends on cron and it does not seem to be "infected", so I didn't
compile it.
I did a "very dirty" method to manually strip anything related to
systemd that I could find on debian directory under those source
packages' directory. I could successfully compile and install them as below:
root@d945gclf:~# dpkg -l | egrep "cron|openssh| ssh |logrotate|rsyslog"
ii cron 3.0pl1-127-devuan amd64 process
scheduling daemon
ii logrotate 3.8.7-1+b1 amd64 Log rotation
utility
ii openssh-client 1:6.7p1-5-devuan amd64 secure
shell (SSH) client, for secure access to remote machines
ii openssh-server 1:6.7p1-5-devuan amd64 secure
shell (SSH) server, for secure access from remote machines
ii openssh-sftp-server 1:6.7p1-5-devuan amd64
secure shell (SSH) sftp server module, for SFTP access from remote machines
ii rsyslog 8.4.2-1-devuan amd64 reliable
system and kernel logging daemon
ii ssh 1:6.7p1-5-devuan all secure shell
client and server (metapackage)
root@d945gclf:~#
They look to be running alright.
If you are interested to know what I did, please find the changes on
cron, openssh and rsyslog packages that I have made on
https://minifora.eu/public/devuan/patches/cron_rsyslog_openssh_patches_04May15.tar.gz.
This encourages me to keep striping other packages. Perhaps it would be
better if I could contribute to Devuan development instead of doing that
for myself. But as I mentioned on other threads, I don't have any
experience at all in Debian packaging so I don't actually know the rules
related to that. If someone could suggest me what to do to get more
involved in Devuan development, or perhaps to be my mentor, I would
really appreciate that.
Cheers,
Anto
