Agreed. It's difficult enough just to get a handle on distribution-building processes. I've heard that the Devuan people have improved on Debian's processes, but good luck finding out about such improvements! I think I may have stumbled across something here: https://git.devuan.org/devuan-infrastructure/amprolla Or even better: https://git.devuan.org/groups/devuan-infrastructure It would be pretty useful in and of itself to just document what different distributions actually do, given that many of them don't really see the need (or don't do so concisely). That might help any future discussions about what might work best. (I found that Guix/GuixSD is one of the few distributions where the documentation seeks to explain things in a coherent start-to-end fashion, but even then it isn't a "how to", which is really what would be most interesting.) > I will talk about this further with Eddi.
