U mean runit's author/upstream maintainer, or do you mean Debian's maintainer for runit? Where does this information come from? I haven't read any such thing. The last time I downloaded, compiled and installed runit it worked just fine. Where did you read about this problem with the (which) maintainer? If there's a problem with Debian's runit maintainer, no sweat: Pair me up with somebody who is good with making packages, and we'll create a Devuan runit package much better than Debian's old one (which was kind of difficult the last time I tried it). If runit's author/upstream author has had bad stuff happen to him to th extent that runit isn't trusted anymore, s6 is a fairly close replacement: A little more complex and a little more capable. AFAIK s6's maintainer is on the job every day improving s6, and once again, someone who knows how to build Devuan package plus me plus a little bit of guidance from s6' upstream would produce a Devuan package. Who on this list is an apt packaging ninja and wants to work on this with me?
