Hi Rainer, I can only reply to your first question ATM:

I'm looking for an upgrade path for a Debian wheezy installation I can't keep forever. I wouldn't mind some rough edges as I'm perfectly capable of fixing any bugs I could conceivably encounter myself but I'd prefer having a workable base to start from over "Linux From Scratch".
I just performed a dist-upgrade in a test VM from a fresh install of wheezy (amd64) with the task "Webserver" and a LAMPhp stack using this sources.list entry (and no others*): deb http://apt.devuan.org/merged stable main First thing I did was ~# apt-get dist-upgrade which resulted in a system that had systemd installed. :O) This was fixed by executing ~# apt-get remove systemd ... et voilà. :-) On this minimal installation I could also execute successfully: ~# apt-get remove libsystemd0 which results in ~# aptitude search '~i systemd' ~# Finally I did ~# apt-get install devuan-baseconf to have the relevant APT setup taken care automatically, but that package currently has a bug ([1]), and I recommend not installing it; because of a typo it creates a "/data" directory in root. I admit, this is cleanroom stuff. A notable "rough edge" was that download speeds of packages dropped below 50kB/s after first few MBs. Kind regards, T. Notes: *) According to [2], "this APT source is exclusive and cannot coexist with Debian's repositories". Links: [1] Devuan Gitlab. Package "devuan-baseconf", Issue #14.
