Hey there, every-Devuan:

Is this list just being unusually quiet, or is my email broken? Or is dng broken?

Anyway, I have set up a repo to which I am frequently pushing new packages from git.devuan.org not yet served from packages.devuan.org. (And some new gnome packages as I strip and build them -- still working on getting that up and running, however.) You can use this repo in the meantime until Devuan gets a complete repository.

My repo serves 32- and 64-bit x86 as well as the modified sources, so it should be easy for others to debuild the packages and serve them from your own repository, too. Considering that my server is just an old board sitting in my apartment which suffers from frequent power outages (and will suffer more due to neighbors running air during summer days), re-serving these packages elsewhere probably isn't a bad idea.

Of note, I am serving the necessary xfce4 packages from the git.devuan.org. I am also serving pulseaudio, which I haven't seen in any of the other systemd-free repos. I know angband.pl also serves systemd-less xfce packages, but I don't see xfce4-session there, which does have systemd requirements.

With the below apt/sources.list entry, I was able to install a fully functional Devuan xfce desktop. I'm using it right now! My repo just fills in some gaps.


deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://pkg.realitysend.net/devuan meantime main
deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://packages.devuan.org/devuan jessie main
deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://packages.devuan.org/merged jessie main


Get some more desktop-y filth by tacking on:

deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian jessie contrib non-free


Get the public key lazily:

wget -O- http://pkg.realitysend.net/realitysend-archive-20150510.gpg | sudo apt-key add -


And lookit:

[jaret@ragnarok ~]$ dpkg -l '*systemd*'
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version      Architecture Description
+++-==============-============-============-=================================
un  systemd        <none>       <none>       (no description available)
un  systemd-sysv   <none>       <none>       (no description available)


Sure, it still uses udev, sure, but otherwise pretty good!


Enjoy!
