dear DNG readers, for those who have Devuan ASCII running, we have a package of eudev in experimental to test and feedback is very welcome, since this is the candidate package to substitute udev. eudev is maintained upstream by talented people at Gentoo who definitely deserve our praise.
Beware this package DOES NOT WORK ON Jessie. For your convenience an ASCII based qcow2 image and vagrant box is publicly available via the DECODE project (Devuan derivative) https://files.dyne.org/decode/OS/ So when you are running ASCII already then all you have to do is add the experimental repository to your apt sources.list with this line deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/devuan experimental main then apt update and apt-get -t experimental install eudev currently, the full version of the package is 3.2.2-devuan2.7 those who were already testing our eudev package need to specify the full version, since we are switching to correct semantic versioning and dropping the "220" prefix inherited by bad versioning practices in udev: apt-get -t experimental install eudev=3.2.2-devuan2.7 According to our tests it installs and it boots! ii eudev 3.2.2-devuan2.7 ii libeudev1:amd64 3.2.2-devuan2.7 ii libudev1 1:3.2.2-devuan2.7 ii udev 1:3.2.2-devuan2.7 It goes the other way, too. apt-get install udev=232-25+deb9u1 libudev1=232-25+deb9u1 Still reboots. Just a config file remains. Not a problem. rc eudev 3.2.2-devuan2.7 ii libudev1:amd64 232-25+deb9u1 ii udev 232-25+deb9u1 Among long term considerations on the advantages this move brings us, the immediate catch is that by installing eudev you will not see anymore the string "systemd" appear in your process list. For reports please use this thread (same subject!) or our git issues https://git.devuan.org/devuan-packages/eudev Many thanks to all the Devuan team for the work being done towards ASCII and in particular to Parazyd and Svante Signell for maintaining the package and giving it the love it deserves. Wish you all a great week. ciao _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
