(about devuan) This has just started, give them some time, please. >From a comment on the thread about upgrades (that don't belong to the ctte bugs): https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/11/msg01265.html > Do note that new installs of kFreeBSD and Hurd should not get > systemd, but what exactly is probably up to the porters for lack > of a CTTE decision in that. Maybe it would be a better place for the non-linux debian-ports to be hosted by devuan (they are currently not release candidates for Jessie): If Debian ditch all non-linux ports, that would make life easier for all DMs and DDS: - no non-linux ports needing other any init than systemd, remove alternatives - no requirement for portable code upstream, previously forwarded by DMs and/or bug reporters. - no annoying bug reports for patches addressing portability, see above (mostly ignored anyway). - ditch all other desktop systems, just go with Gnome - etc - <based on the above, plenty of packages could be removed, etc> BTW: why not rename Debian 8 Jessie to Debian Lendows(tm) 1, and perhaps the whole distribution (Lindows was acquired by M$, that name is taken already) Note, I'm just kidding, or?
