The Devuan site [1] is quite clean but as a side effect lacks a direct link to the new, more simplified build process, and says to ask via mail. Back in the Red Hat 5.2 days, OpenSSH was one of the packages where I rolled my own RPMs. APT is different but, famous last words, how much harder could it be once one gets going? I can probably follow a recipe reasonably well, and the second or third time should be easy, but would be constrained somewhat if a dedicated development machine is needed locally. So I would be interested in seeing how feasible it would be to maintain that package. Some preliminary searching turns up nothing about Devuan's build process. Can you please (re-)post the link to the new Devuan build process? /Lars [1] https://devuan.org/ _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
