Systemd-free Devuan announces its first stable release candidate 'Jessie' 1.0.0
Actual announcement: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;devuan.org&#x2F;os&#x2F;debian-fork&#x2F;stable-candidate-announce-042017" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;devuan.org&#x2F;os&#x2F;debian-fork&#x2F;stable-candidate-announce-...</a><p>Reminds me of dragonfly bsd. Anyone still use that?<p>I stayed on 4.x until 6.x came out and later Scott Long actually admitted that 5.x was a bad release.<p>So Devuan now wants to continue Debian with tons of shell scripts to maintain while most other major distros move to systemd. That means package maintainers are moving to systemd. So Devuan will have to maintain separate init scripts for their distro mostly on their own.<p>I mean who in their right mind would write a 27 line init script when they could write a 7 line systemd unit?
