[DNG] wheezy to devuan migration

2016-07-07 Thread al3xu5 / dotcommon
Hi all! I am following devuan since it has started (also with a little contribution) talking about it the distributions based on devuan to my friends and at work. So, first of all: thanks! Now, it is the time for me to migrate my system from wheezy to devuan, so I need some info and advices...

[DNG] Wheezy lvm upgrade to devuan

2016-01-14 Thread fsmithred
Just for the record... I did a standard system install of wheezy on encrypted lvm, then added xorg and xfce4 (full metapackages) and not much else. Changed sources to devuan jessie and added the avoid-systemd pin, ran 'apt-get update' and added the devuan keyring, then ran 'apt-get dist-upgrade'

On my wheezy pulseaudio wants: libsystemd-daemon0 (= 31), libsystemd-login0 (= 31) If i had some time i would change to jack... Possibly it would be a boost for the jack development if we make it standard in Devuan? Well, before we overreact- if the package has been depreciated, we

Then I have no idea about default installation (you can probably look at package dependencies to figure it out). But from Debian's current POV, it is probably considered an improvement to add systemd components and more recent versios of __ that use them, even if PID1 is still sysvinit. After

I recently unintentionally installed systemd and a bunch of the related tentacles. It was a new Wheezy install w/XFCE from a DVD I figured I'd be safe from systemd with wheezy, but for some hardware (AMD A10-7850K Kaveri) I needed a newer kernel and so I enabled backports. I obviously was

Hi, Clarke! It was a bit of a wake up call for me as it made me realize that for more recent hardware continued use of Wheezy to avoid systemd may not be as simple as it first seems. You can get around that. Systemd is not a kernel requirement. You can easily get around said problems by

Thank you, Hendrik. That is what I assumed you would find. I’m not overreacting per se. I freely admit, I’ve not looked at the code to see how well it functions independently. I also do not know for certain that it is a recent addition. I do not recall seeing it in previous Wheezy releases

I was installing wheezy this morning on a second hard drive and I noted that systemd named packages have crept their way into the wheezy default installs. I'm presuming that they are compatibly named or part of a systemd/system 5 shim since systemd is not actually running. I'm guessing they did

IIRC, Wheezy is known to have systemd packages but they aren't (or shouldn't be?) installed by default, probably as an early preparation for full systemd in Jessie. Yes, I know. As I’ve said before I have no problem with systemd, except on mission critical servers. My concern is that

My concern is that Debian is backporting code to the Wheezy release that they shouldn’t be installing by default I should say “might be” as I am not sure and have not looked at the code personally. I am merely concerned. From: t.j.duch...@gmail.com Sent: ‎Monday‎, ‎January‎ ‎5‎,
