In Devuan, we have our own software called "Amprolla" that basically acts as an overlay to the Debian repositories. Systemd-dependent packages like php-fpm or anything else that's been compiled with systemd support we recompile without, and put it in our own repos. Right now we're at about 300 packages that have been compiled specifically for Devuan (without the need for systemd), and anything else, Amprolla resolves and gets from the Debian repos, so you still have all 40k+ packages that are already in Debian. Also, while we still mark it as beta, I can assure you it's perfectly stable and production ready if that's of any worry for you. -- ~ parazyd 0333 7671 FDE7 5BB6 A85E C91F B876 CB44 FA1B 0274
