not too much recent, I did last upgrade at the end of november 2015, the first one was back in may 2015, maybe before (some of list readers probably remember my post on VUA's facebook group about it :-) ). It's very simple to upgrade from debian wheezy to devuan jessie, simply put in /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://packages.devuan.org/merged jessie main contrib non-free then run: # apt-get update # apt-get install devuan-keyring devuan-baseconf sysinit-core sysinit-core is (was?) necessary because without it sysvinit will be "upgrade" to systemd Then remove all entry about wheezy in /etc/apt/sources.list and run: # apt-get update # apt-get dist-upgrade No problem at all for me, but I don't use gnome, kde or any desktop enviroment, I don't like them, I use only dwm. At the end of upgrade on my servers I also run: # apt-get remove --purge dbus to clean installation from dbus, consolekit and co. On workstations I cannot do it because removing dbus remove also inkskape (and probably something else that I haven't installed) that sometimes I use.
