ok, well... how about this: if there are other changes to be considered, how about doing them - again - as a separate additional repository? (preferably an independent one i.e. independent of using the devuan-systemd one). so that anyone coming to devuan could go "hmm, i really want to keep debian with systemd because i like it" *but*, if you were to hard-code the additional changes to require devuan systemd-removed packages, they might very well go " hmm, i really want to use these extra non-systemd-related packages that devuan did, but sadly i cannot do so because my machines require systemd." what you *don't* want to happen is to fall into exactly the same trap of forcing people into all-or-nothing decisions. we've had enough of that, and it would be respectful to them to give them a proper choice, and to show other distros (including debian) that respecting people's right to choose is something that attracts users. sorry i had to cut everything else, this is starting to take up significant amounts of my time. l. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
