This is the repo of the trios gnu linux distro - http://trios.rs/
They have a great debian respin that uses openrc and is free of systemd.
The iso is available at http://mirror.org.rs/image/
This repo currently only has amd64 packages
Code: Select all
deb http://mirror.org.rs/trios/ mia non-systemd main
Code: Select all
deb http://mirror.org.rs/trios/ mia non-systemd-testing main
This repo was created by Adam Borowski who is a debian devel.
This repo has both amd64 and i386 packages
Code: Select all
deb http://angband.pl/debian/ nosystemd main
Either one of these seem to work very well with stock debian jessie installs.
I do not believe any preferences/pinning is necessary but doing so probably is a good idea anyway.
These repos allow you to remove systemd, even libsystemd and still install most anything you want without *systemd* getting dragged back in....gnome is probably out of the question of course...
