This basically did it for me. But this warning has been unhelpful for me: %:/var/lib/dpkg/info# grep -A 2 "sysv" *openrc* openrc.postinst: echo "*** WARNING: if you are replacing sysv-rc by OpenRC, then you must ***" openrc.postinst- echo "*** reboot immediately using the following command: ***" openrc.postinst- echo 'for file in /etc/rc0.d/K*; do s=`basename $(readlink "$file")` ; /etc/init.d/$s stop; done' (Devuan Ascii with sysvinit-core, systemd package already purged) What this did on my system is: Stop all services and then sit there. It did not reboot. I asked a co-worker to reboot the machine via the hypervisor and it worked. openrc 0.23-1+b1 on my first ever Devuan server :) > If I switch, will I have to create new service definition files for > each existing daemon in /etc/init.d or can it read and reuse those > files automatically? I didn´t do anything except installing openrc and rebooting.
