Hi all, I wonder if building Devuan can be further automated. Void Linux has some super-duper software processes to do much of this automatically. It works right off of a git server (unfortunately, github). If I'm not mistaken it puts out two updates a day, but of course there's no automatic updating so the user chooses when to do all the updates up to current. With very few people, Void Linux manages to keep a very complete distro with very few screwups, and they fix major security flaws about as fast as Debian.
I'm wondering if Devuan could make use of something similar. Perhaps doing this would free up resources to Devuanize more packages, for less dependency on Debian. Before you ask, no, I can't help. I'm indexing my new book, I'm making provisions so programs written in Freepascal, C, and pretty much any other language, can send a sine wave to the speakers (a capability requiring waaaaay too much programming in Linux). Of course I'll release it as Free Software. The Debian "Community" is getting more rotten every day. Just today on Debian-User, somebody asked a maybe sorta dumb question, and several people gleefully jumped all over him. One guy (not the OP) thanked everybody for their diverse solutions, and then criticized the OP, signing his email "With kindest regards" :-). Another guy managed to bring the OP's advanced age into it. So it's not just their politicians with their rigged GRs, it's the very citizenry of Debian itself. In the long run it's probably going to be advantageous for Devuan to move more toward a distro of its own, before the Debian crowd decide to put in halloween code to sabotage Devuan.
