Re: Wow. Really?
That depends what you consider 'init freedom'. And that is why the announcement concludes with this:dilberts_left_nut wrote:init freedom ? ...golinux wrote:Why on earth would Devuan want to do that?!
Init Freedom
Devuan is about choice. We think people should be able to choose whether to use a GNU+Linux system with or without systemd.
Devuan decided to fork not only the base distribution, but also its governance, because Debian has made it difficult to avoid systemd as init, entangling the system with unnecessary dependencies and did so despite widespread community concern. We encourage potential Devuan users who wish to install systemd to use Debian’s installer, Debian’s packages and Debian’s mailing lists, all available directly from Debian’s mirrors.
May the FORK be with you!
Re: Wow. Really?
But is it possible to install systemd in Devuan?

Re: Wow. Really?
I don't think the OP here, understands or knows what Devaun Jessie really is,
hence, the question,....
To try to clarify, Devaun Jessie is a "fork", of Debian Jessie, the developers of
Devaun went through some great effort to remove systemd, this is what makes
Devaun distinctly different, if one wants systemd, then they should not use Devaun,
they should use Debian Jessie, it installs with systemd by default.
If you do not want sytemd, one option is to install Devaun Jessie, when you update and when upgrades are available, you would want to use the Devaun repositories , and keep
it non-systemd, trying to mix the 2 would lead to all sorts of problems, and trying to add
systemd to it would be pointless, since the systemd version of Debian Jessie is available.
Questions and discussion about Devaun Jessie really should be asked here :
https://dev1galaxy.org/
That is where you will find the people involved with it's development and that know
more about this.

Not without unpinning and reassembling packages that have been sanitized of frivolous 'entanglements'.

Re: Wow. Really?
Translation from http://forum.debianizzati.org/viewtopic ... 04#p188107 dated 11/30/2014I want to emphasize that Devuan is NOT Debian without - or worse, "against" - systemd. Systemd will be supported in Devuan. Devuan is a fork in favor of freedom of choice. Sysvinit will remain the default init system, but all init systems will be supported - at least, all those that are packaged in Debian at the moment.

So, basically, the answer is "no". But how long will it be before some user wants to do it, and the Devuan forums fill up with posts about how better Devuan is than Debian but they need systemd for some reason. I can't think of a reason but someone will.
What the hell, I'm going to download Devuan now. (And no, it's not to try systemd with it.)

Re: Wow. Really?
That was well over two years ago. The landscape has changed a LOT since then. Most importantly, systemd has become much more than init. Its system wide entanglements have made co-existence within a single installation an impossibility. Think what a glacier does slowly to everything in its path. Eventually there is only the glacier . . .arochester wrote:Translation from http://forum.debianizzati.org/viewtopic ... 04#p188107 dated 11/30/2014I want to emphasize that Devuan is NOT Debian without - or worse, "against" - systemd.

That's why Devuan encourages users who want to run systemd to use Debian. Devuan will continue to provide an alternative of modularity in the Unix tradition (which it seems Debian has abandoned).

Re: Wow. Really?
I read on slashdot that GNU's own init system (shepherd) is available on Devuan. I wonder how well that works. I don't want to mess around with GNU's linux distro because of the libre kernel that would cause problems on a lot of hardware, I suspect.

Re: Wow. Really?
Yes, you are right. I really miss it, full of happiness popular and exciting systemd. I loved when my system hangs while shutting down, love message, like: "A stop job is running for..." https://postimg.org/image/ar7e3ashz, And he's a good companion, and can easily solve the problem when nothing else to do. With systemd there is always something to do! After all, systemd to take care of my health when I want to restart the computer which is far away from me, he will hang him and I will definitely have to raise my ass and go to my computer, because the walk is very good for your health.No idea how I will live and miss the beloved systemd!phenest wrote:Devuan forums fill up with posts about how better Devuan is than Debian but they need systemd for some reason.

Re: Wow. Really?
LOL!!!
1)
Devuan Jessie LTS released May 25th 2017
As it says on another forum "Devuan, built on a two year old technology" - (mostly built by other people).
Stretch is nearly here!
2)
3) The point keeps occurring to me
a) Does Debian "need" Devuan. Yes or No?
b) Does Devuan "need" Debian. Yes or No?
Perhaps the self-identifying, usual subjects should think carefully about putting down Debian and promoting Devuan as an "alternative".
(Theoretically) If Debian disappeared overnight, would Devuan be able to take its place? Yes or No?

Re: Wow. Really?
arochester, good questions. Although I do not use Devuan I quietly root for it. Debian may officially claim that it does not need Devuan but it does. The Devuan fork lets Debian developers off the hook for users who need the option. More importantly, users need to understand the differences and why Devuan was created. My long term hope is that Debian become less dogmatic about its position.
Re: Wow. Really?
Currently only a very small number of packages require attention. But we are aware that at some point Devuan may have to become an 'independent' distribution. Our exodus plan was intended to allow current Debian users a smooth upgrade path from Debian (Wheezy or Jessie) to Devuan Jessie. After Jessie that conversion will no longer be possible ie Stretch to ASCII. It will require a reinstall.arochester wrote:(Theoretically) If Debian disappeared overnight, would Devuan be able to take its place? Yes or No?

A one-trick pony?Currently only a very small number of packages require attention
- https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/one-trick_ponyA person or group noteworthy for only a single achievement, skill, or characteristic.
What is an "independent" distribution. Not a fork? Not a derivative? But independent???
