c-dogHi *. I've made my plymouth source with devuan/no-systmed patches available here: https://git.devuan.org/JoeThunder/plymouth/tree/devuan/no-systemd. Clone the repo, checkout the devuan/no-systemd branch, dpkg-checkbuilddeps, dpkg-buildpacakge and you should be good to test it.00:55
c-dogIt works on my Lenovo X230 Thinkpad - I'm using UEFI boot, with EFISTUB kernel and fully encrypted LVM filesystem with /, /boot, /home and swap on the encrypted LVM. I have not tested this package using legacy BIOS boot and/or GRUB though I dare say it will work OK.00:59
c-dogIt also works in UEFI boot mode using the rEFInd intermediate bootloader, which chain loads the devuan kernel and initrd.01:00
c-dogHopefully this means we can include a systemd-free plymouth boot splash package in the next Beowulf beta release?!!01:02
c-dogI hasten to add that I am not a developer - merely an amateur hacker but long time Debian and derivatives user (since ~2002/2003)01:04
masonclemens3: Oh, nice. I was thinking about correcting Plymouth, but having someone else do it - even better!02:09
masonc-dog I meant, but he's gone02:10
c-dogFYI I posted about the plymouth package on dev1galaxy forum here: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=349204:35
c-dogApologies but I'm not au fait with the Devuan way - I guess I'm finding my feet. Please correct me when I'm wrong!04:36
c-dogEek, so I've just found the Packaging Guide for Devuan on the gitlab server and it seems I've done it all wrong. I guess I need more guidance or if someone else becomes the maintainer, they can cherry-pick my patches etc... I guess I could always delete my project and recreate it following the packaging guide.05:33
LeePenc-dog: Thanks. Don't worry, it could still be useful.10:57
LeePenAre you prepared to maintain a fork for us long-term?10:57
