Here's a synopsis of the changes that fsmithred made to create the live iso posted August 28:
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20150828.110825.2dafa442.en.html Maybe you two should get together? I've been using Refracta for several years. Love the tools and selection of packages. My philosophy is less is more . . . Refracta site is here but don't know how up to date it is: http://www.ibiblio.org/refracta/ golinux -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 10/8/15, Godefridus Daalmans <fr...@daalmansdata.eu> wrote: Subject: [DNG] two miscommunications about refracta and live-build To: dng@lists.dyne.org Date: Thursday, October 8, 2015, 9:30 AM First, about fsmithred from refracta: I simply wasn't aware that somebody had already done this. Sorry fsmithred. I don't keep good track of the developments. Is there something like these newfangled "web sites" where I could read the latest news? And I don't mean git.devuan.org/packages-base because frankly, I get lost there easily. Second, I didn't actually use the live-build scripts from Debian as-is. I tried, but it kept pushing systemd at me. So I patched the live-build scripts. We need a Devuan version. I volunteer. Without the live-build scripts (or, my tweaked version) I wouldn't have a clue how to set up squashfs, modify initramfs etc., as it automates a lot of seriously complicated stuff. Because of other reasons, I decided to make a local copy of large chunks of http://packages.devuan.org/merged, constructed a dists/jessie/main/Contents-amd64.gz file (live-build script chroot_firmware needed this), and then ran my modified live-build script. So it's currently still not as easy as it could be. One last comment: it only worked, because you people had done all the work of de-systemd-ing all those essential packages :-) _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
