I believe that for finished products to be shipped and supported we need to leave incentives open for developers, including the possibility to re-brand the distro into "blends", as well have their own ad-hoc support plans, even commercial if they want. for instance we may have refractalinux for a good devuan based live, or dynebolic for multimedia studio, or centurionlinux (made up thinking of Dan) for a good server base. Devuan should serve well as a reliable base for all those, as this is exactly where Debian is failing. so Devuan is really a fork of Debian, not a blend or respin, since it provides a different base where choices for it *as a base system* are made with clearly different priorities. as many people here are asking for a reliable and minimalistic desktop I really hope Refracta can catch up with that, knowing you use it and know the developer who is also with us on IRC, I'd rather encourage that as a downstream effort instead of making Devuan finished for the specific purpose. ciao _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
