What is the status of vdev?  Is it packages and inthe repositories yet?

As fsmithred said in the irc, there are two sets of packages working for now:

https://git.devuan.org/devuan-packages/vdev (by Ralph Ronquist)

and:

deb http://packages.gnuinos.org/unsystemd jessie main
deb-src http://packages.gnuinos.org/unsystemd jessie main

You have to run vdev-assistant in this second case. But be carefull with the "live" hook in the initramfs-tools, it needs some simple changes. Remove all the live-* packages from your system if they exist, before installing vdev.

Now, the priority are the manpages. You can read more here:

Recently i tried to run a devuan vanilla with vdev and a 4.x kernel, and it didn't work (in live mode) because the system searched for a cdrom_id binary, non existent in vdev. On the other hand, you will need to set your keyboard configuration at every reboot (minor issue) depending on your keymap. Beyond that,vdev works fine for me.

Cheers,

  Aitor.
