Hello,

I am trying to reply to the following message. I hope I am doing this right.

I have a question about running Vagrant in Gentoo.I am running Debian
Wheezy on two of my computers, but the one that I want to use to test
Devaun is running Gentoo. When I go to the website that is linked below the
only Linux downloads are either rpm or deb files. From what I can tell
these will not work in Gentoo. If I am not supposed to use the version of
Vagrant in the package manager, how can I get Vagrant to run in Gentoo?

I am really excited about Devaun and happy that you are not content to let
systemd take over the Linux world. I am still a noobie to Linux, but I am
working hard to learn as much as I can and hope to gain the skills
necessary to become a package maintainer one day. I would like to help with
Devaun any way I possibly can.

Thanks,

Jeremy

Subject: [Dng] Devuan Alpha i386 - developers release series on
        Vagrant
Message-ID: <20150307011135.GA8357@fork>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

Hi all,

This is the initial release of the Alpha series, base-system stripped at
minimum and distributed in Vagrant format (virtualbox provider), to make
the life of developers working on core components as vdev easier.

Vagrant is a very cool tool, check it out http://vagrantup.com

I'll distribute new releases of the Devuan Alpha cycle virtual machine
via Vagrant and Atlas. This is version 0.1 and can be tested on any PC
running any operating system.

To have this image running, install the latest Vagrant - not the one
from your package manager, but the updated version from the vagrant
website download section - then type into a terminal:

mkdir ~/vagrant && cd ~/vagrant

vagrant init jaromil/devuan-alpha-i386

vagrant up

This will download and start the image into an headless virtualbox
instance. From this "box" downloaded is possible to duplicate - should
we say fork :^) - more virtual machines.

To login use ssh via port 2222 with user devuan pass devuan.
Root password is also devuan.

Sources are from git.devuan.org and from Debian Jessie.

Devuan runs on sysvinit, systemd is not the init and none of its daemons
are running, but its packages are still present because we are still
using udev.

This is the start of the Alpha release cycle, other developers may also
issue interim releases and updates will follow from packages.devuan.org
as well ftp.debian.org's jessie (pinned) and security.debian.org

happy hacking!

ciao
