Hi,
I would like to convey my respect and appreciation to all participants,
acknowledging that Devuan GNU/Linux is in use here now as a functional
Linux Desktop which I use for tasks of software development and system
integration as well as for everyday mail, office and web stuff.
Good work! Kee
Apologies, a typo:

Hi,
sorry for picking up on this edge while the thread's general
discussion has advanced further.
The "status" command matters to me; that is why I would like
to address its handling in a more detailed manner.

You don't mention what you want to accomplish specifically,

Hello,
subject says it all.
Are there currently ongoing efforts to have that?
If no, I will start one, if yes, I want to join it.
Kind regards,

P.S. I am perfectly aware of JACK, respect it a lot and use it, too,
but there remains a jungle of stuff to be done that is outside
its scope.

I was asking if Devuan is complete enough that it can be used by someone
willing to put work in fixing bugs.
Yes. I recommend signing up on
https://git.devuan.org/
for that purpose.
Kind regards,

Hi Rainer,
