Don't know why but some of my posts didn't seem to make the mailing list
properly so will try again!

What about being devuan maintainers and contribute those packages
to devuan?
Well, my intention is to promote Devuan and in future contribute
whatever I can.
I'm quite new to packaging and began this late 2014 before any Devuan
structure existed, for my own use. Some of them are now outdated.
Others (e.g. consolekit2, sane-utils) seem unavailable elsewhere so
far.
These packages are freely available, mostly including sources. I now
use in preference Devuan packages, if available.
what is the default root password
XFCE image:
user user root root
TDE image (same as standard Debian-live):
user live No root password set
Sudo is configured for both images so <sudo su> will work.
The XFCE image was made from a clean (devuan version) debootstrap
using --exclude=systemd-sysv
From there *systemd* was exluded in apt preferences, Devuan and other
repos configured then Devuan util-linux packages installed in chroot.
It was then possible to purge *all* *systemd* components and build
the rest of the system, using package lists piped to apt. No systemd
shim is used.
The custom script I use is posted at the same location as the iso, as
is the installed package list (from which you can grep "nosystemd" to
view the modified package versions).
I've always liked the Refracta look.
+1. Before I saw Refracta I thought XFCE could not be other than
butt-ugly. I added a set of themes and user configs similar to
Refracta7 as well as the Refracta tools (snapshot, installer,
refracta2usb). This is partly aimed at also helping the Refracta
project although I don't know if an "official" Refracta Jessie ISO is
actually planned.
Regarding TDE, the DE itself has nothing requiring systemd except
dbus, for which clean Devuan packages are available. GTK and QT4 are
also not required since TDE has forked QT3, so also less bloat.
