Hello!

I just installed Devuan armhf on a headless Raspberry Pi 2 Model B,
using the raspian-ua-netinst image. The upgrade from this tiny Debian
Wheezy to Devuan Jessie /just worked/ - installing task-lxde-desktop
pulled in libsystemd0 as dependency of some "less essential" and easy
to remove packages, see below.

This is what I did:

Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, ethernetted.

1) get raspbian-ua-netinst-v1.0.7.img.xz from
https://github.com/debian-pi/raspbian-ua-netinst/releases/
2) xzcat image to sdcard
3) check installer‑config.txt -> release=wheezy
4) boot sdcard -> ~10 min unattended netinstall procedure
5) ssh root@???


### NOW LOGGED IN as root@??? ###

basic configuration:
# dpkg-reconfigure locales
# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

edit /etc/apt/sources.list to contain only the line
deb http://apt.devuan.org/merged stable main

manually deploy the changes from the (currently broken) devuan-baseconf
package http://packages.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/d/devuan-baseconf/
to
/etc/apt/preferences.d/
and
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/

first apt-get update returns a warning about the missing apt
signing-key, so get the key (please verify key-id yourself):
# gpg && gpg --recv-keys 94532124541922FB
# gpg --export -a 94532124541922FB | apt-key add -

go devuan:
# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
# apt-get dist-upgrade

check for systemd:
# apt-get install aptitude
# aptitude search '?installed' | grep systemd
#

:-)

go gui:
# apt-get install debfoster && debfoster
# apt-get install task-lxde-desktop xrdp

(Now graphical remote/rdp login is possible.)

check for systemd:
  # aptitude search '?installed' | grep systemd
  i A libsystemd0        - systemd utility library


# dpkg -P libsystemd0

  Do you want to continue? [Y/n]


Yes, I want... To have sound working w/o PulseAudio, unprivileged users
need to be added to the "audio" group. That's it :-)

I'll report back after further testing. Hooray Devuan!

With kind regards,

Florian
