Guys, I think that is time to start working on a `Debian Fork`.
Just for the record, I'm using `Debian` since `Potato` and I am very unhappy with this `systemd-fiasco`. `Debian` with `systemd` is NOT `Debian` anymore, it is another thing, completely different. It is time to take it back, to make `Debian` fun again! This new fork will: 1- ...be `systemd-free` (not even its sources will be included, maybe only `systemd-udev`, _at first_); 2- ...have some level of `systemd-compatibility` (with `uselessd`), so, it will be easier to sync from Debian and keep it up to date, without requiring to maintain `sysvinit-core` too; 3- ...have a metapackage called `udev`, and packages like `eudev`, `mdev` will be available (just like meta-`init` and `sysvinit-core`, `upstart`...); 4- ...be the new home for `Debian kFreeBSD`, probably integrated `uselessd`; 5- ...kick `Debian Constitution`. So, how to do it? Where to start? At first, just the initial fork, recompilation and new ISO CDs, `as-is`. Just like `Canonical` does when they start working on a new version of `Ubuntu` (i.e, its "Debian sync" procedure). In the past, I remastered `Debian ISO CD` with my own `preseed`, it is easy. I know how to do this. Also, I know how to make my own "APT Mirror", with that remastered CD pointing to it on its `sources.list`. Basically, a "binary fork". Now, I would like to build the complete infrastructure to fork `Debian` from its sources, compiles each package and build the APT repository from it (and ISO CDs). Where should I start? Lets document this step-by-step?! BTW, I'm the author of `Xen LiveCD v2.0`, which is a Debian built with `live-helper`. Plus, I can write good docs, like this: https://github.com/tmartinx/openstack-guides I have free hosting facilities and lots of servers to make this a reality. Cheers!
