Hi Svante and everybody! (and zap, to whom you right as second person in the email I'm replying to. zap might give useful advice, since he --later-- reported he successfully installed OpenRC)
Svante, I'm taking your suggestion in the other thread some three days ago now, or so. I want to try OpenRC in my Devuan.

I added it to, ah, here's the entire: # cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devuan-ascii.list # /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devuan-ascii.list deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii main deb-src http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii main deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii-updates main deb-src http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii-updates main deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii-security main deb-src http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii-security main # ascii-proposed, for openrc deb http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii-proposed main # I hope that is fine. > for the other packages. > and > apt-get update > apt-get install ... Install which packages? Note at proofreading: probably those that you said to zap that you would send, and which by now might be in the ascii-proposed repo. From the other email of yours (let me paste it here, and it is this email on the web --for other readers, since more non-experts like me read this ML--: error processing package initscripts, because /lib/init/vars.sh missing https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20170706.105041.4bae37b7.en.html ): (quote created manually) > Regarding util-linux (2.29.2-1+devuan1) that version is needed in order > to install sysvinit-utils (2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2) required by > initscripts (2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2) and > sysvinit-core (2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2) is needed if you want to try openrc out. > In such case you need to enable ascii-proposed: > deb http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii-proposed main I'm not sure I understand completely. But in bottom I'll give what I have installed... Reading the thread of yours now (I've had other business in the meantime, writing this for 1/2 of a day by now)... > NOTE: If you are on real HW, please make sure you can recover in case > something goes wrong!!! I'll have to spend a few hours, as I'm rather meticulous, but I will be able to recover in case of failure. IOW: I'm not asking for any warranties. I liked using OpenRC in Gentoo very much... It is generally great, and it does not depend on Dbus (or D-bus), a program which I... don't like. It is touted by the sans-systemd camp in Gentoo (still a majority, but I'm not following since maybe two months or so) for that free-from-dbus feature. > > If you are on amd64 or some other arch I can send you the source files > (or you can install and build them yourself by: adding > deb-src http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/devuan ascii-proposed main Is it still necessary to be sent these source files you mentioned above?

By the way, if I get into more difficulty understanding the procedure, I'll open a topic in Dev1Galaxy (and just link to it), not to disturb this ML with beginners' issues. So here's what I have installed (I ran 'apt-get update' last night after having added ascii-proposed to my sources): # apt-cache policy util-linux util-linux: Installed: 2.28-1+devuan3 Candidate: 2.28-1+devuan3 Version table: *** 2.28-1+devuan3 500 500 http://packages.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages 500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages 100 http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii-proposed/main amd64 Packages 500 http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status # apt-cache policy initscripts initscripts: Installed: 2.88dsf-59.3+devuan2 Candidate: 2.88dsf-59.3+devuan2 Version table: 2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2 100 100 http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii-propose *** 2.88dsf-59.3+devuan2 500 500 http://packages.devuan.org/merged ascii/main am 500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii/main 500 http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii/main am 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status # apt-cache policy sysvinit-core sysvinit-core: Installed: 2.88dsf-59.3+devuan2 Candidate: 2.88dsf-59.3+devuan2 Version table: 2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2 100 100 http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii-proposed/main amd64 Packages *** 2.88dsf-59.3+devuan2 500 500 http://packages.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages 500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages 500 http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status # apt-cache policy sysvinit-utils sysvinit-utils: Installed: 2.88dsf-59.3+devuan2 Candidate: 2.88dsf-59.3+devuan2 Version table: 2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2 100 100 http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii-proposed/main amd64 Packages *** 2.88dsf-59.3+devuan2 500 500 http://packages.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages 500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages 500 http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status So, questioning is the way to understanding... I finally see a little clearer. Only util-linux is not in the repo, and needs to be compiled... And maybe also libfdisk1, let me see: # apt-cache policy libfdisk1 libfdisk1: Installed: 2.28-1+devuan3 Candidate: 2.28-1+devuan3 Version table: *** 2.28-1+devuan3 500 500 http://packages.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages 500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages 100 http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii-proposed/main amd64 Packages 500 http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Yeah, that one as well is not in the ascii-proposed repo! Svante, pls. send me the packages if needed! Or zap, you can send them to me either. As soon as I get them, I'll confirm with a short notice to this ML. And then I go (quote already brought up way up in this email... btw sorry for the mess, have already re-written it a few times, tired...): > apt-get source util-linux (Does not work for me. The Sources file is > unfortunately empty) > apt-get build-dep util-linux > cd util-linux-2.29.2 > dpkg-buildpackage -b > cd ../build-area > dpkg -i util-linux_2.29.2-1+devuan1_<your_arch>.deb libfdisk1_2.29.2- > 1+devuan1_<your_arch>.deb Regards! -- Miroslav Rovis Zagreb, Croatia https://www.CroatiaFidelis.hr
