Asunto: [DNG] Call for devuan 1.0 "jessie" beta
Hello all.

I think is time to draw a line and list what we have
and what we miss to release a beta for jessie

I ask all active developers/contributors to fix any
error in my list and to comment if anything isn't as
i write.

first a couple of things about jessie in devuan:

- default DE will be xfce4
- default DM is slim
- no systemd components should be present in the default install.
systemd-shim and libsystemd0 can be accepted only for non-default
DE installs, and only for 1.0, we will work to remove any trace
in 1.1 if any ( i'm thinking about gnome in particular )
- packages from debian that suggest to install systemd components but
aren't really built to use it can be just forced using override,
without rebuild them
- no other changes except for rebranding will be done for 1.0
- we will use udev, vdev is expected to be enough mature for ascii
( thanks Jude for your excellent work! )
- no other changes are required for release except of course rebranding
- we will release for: amd64, i386, armhf, armel, arm64. More
architectures will be added for 1.1
- 1.1 will be "jessie r1", ascii will be 2.0

What we have working:
---------------------

- Many packages are already disinfected
- the iso installer is almost ready, for beta we must finish rebranding
and test for any major bug
- amprolla needs a rewrite for performances, but it can be done after
release, for the moment it just works.
- the build infrastructure is working, everything can be improved, but
it's enough for release

What we miss for beta?:
-----------------------

- many packages depends on libsystemd0 or other components. We need to
use override and/or rebuild them to remove systemd dependency, at
least for default install and commonly used daemons.
- finish the rebrand of the installer
- build the "full" netinstall iso

Is there anything i missed to list?
