If I might say so, I think that Devuan's short-term goal should be to get a release out as soon as possible, as close to Debian Jesse as possible. After that, I think that Devuan should focus on what would be needed to provide user choice for the next release. This is just my opinion, but I think that Devuan should pursue the goal that Ian Jackson left Debian over: making sure that the user can use whatever init they choose: be it System V, OpenRC or Systemd. In order to do that, I suspect a new practice for packaging will be needed, where daemons are packaged for each, and then chosen via a meta-package checking which you have; or where the startup scripts are packaged separately for each and then selected automatically to be installed with the binary, depending on what is installed on the system. It is possible that if Devuan succeeded in doing that, and proved to Debian that it could work; Debian might follow suit. I see no reason why Devuan has to do the same as Debian: one way or nothing. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
