Re: [Dng] greetings how to help
Hi Udo, I'm not part of the VUA, and what I'm about to say is by no means comprehensive or official. I'd say things are looking up for Devuan: * The Devuan package repository is available at http://apt.devuan.org/devuan. I think the current plan is to mirror Debian's repositories and copy in Devuan's systemd-free variants (i.e. for util-linux, dbus, etc.). * There's an i386 Vagrant image released for pre-alpha testing (see https://git.devuan.org/devuan/devuan-project/wikis/try-devuan-on-vagrant). * There's a Devuan SDK available that lets you build Devuan installer ISOs in a fairly straight-forward manner, as well as manage builds of Devuan-specific packages. Also, I think a lot of the development conversation has moved to IRC. The logs are at https://botbot.me/freenode/devuan/ There are also some interesting projects aimed at building long-term replacements for systemd components: * LoginKit (replaces systemd-logind). https://git.devuan.org/pkgs-utopia-substitution/loginkit * libsysdev (replaces libudev). https://github.com/idunham/libsysdev * vdev (replaces udevd). https://github.com/jcnelson/vdev (DISCLAIMER: I'm the author) Insofar as what needs doing, there's a pre-alpha ISO floating around (Valentine pre-alpha), and the Vagrant image could always use more testing and bug reports. There's also a list of infrastructure to-dos here: https://git.devuan.org/devuan-infrastructure/todo/issues. Hope this helps, -Jude On Sun, Mar 15, 2015 at 8:54 AM, Udo Rader list...@bestsolution.at wrote: Hi, short preface: the idea of systemd running on our ~100 servers causes me more than serious headache and so, like many others, I am interested in having a viable alternative to this madness. Unfortunately I was not very successful finding out how Devuan is doing - despite having done my homework digging both through the website and the ML archives. The best I came up with is the announcement of a spring (alpha?) release. I am not asking the evil when will it be done question, instead I am asking how I could possibly help to get things going :) You could very likely call me a Linux veteran with almost 20 years playing the game and in a (now very remote) past I even did some packaging for Mandriva. For the past 10 years almost every server we have been provisioning is based on Debian and so I know that beast quite well, but I have never been involved with Debian as an organization. My daily job is devops oriented, with the dev side focusing mostly on Java and the ops side planning and partially maintaining our infrastructure. So what are the areas that require additional help?
