And looking up also:
http://wiki.friendsofdevuan.org/doku.php/quick_start_minimal

And I was wondering. In my Tips page on Debian:
Grsecurity/Pax installation on Debian GNU/Linux
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=108616

and my dream being to teach newbies deploying grsec-hardened kernel in
Devuan, since Debian has fallen victim to poetter-people...

[And I was wondering] (sorry if I've rusted a bit in Debian/Devuan ways and
terminology since), *grsecurity* can since recently
(see:
Intel Subsidiary's Violations Made Grsec withdraw Stable?
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1031476.html
gone stable-available-only-for-sponsors (and I don't blame
the grsec devs for that...)
)

Since grsecurity can since recently only be used if you use testing
kernel (such as the current one in my Gentoo: 4.2.5-hardened), I was
wondering, and excuse my ignorance if that is the case, whether after:

Upgrading Debian to Devuan Stable (aka Jessie 1.0)

it is possible to use a testing kernel on the Devuan Stable Jessie 1.0,
to then compile and deploy grsecurity-hardened kernel, much like I was
doing in my Devuan tips page above?

(A note is due: much that I'm eager to, if the answer to my query is:
YES it can be done, try that A.S.A.P and report, poor health and other
issues may prevent me for some more time to do so; pls. should that be
the case, don't count it at inconsistency on my part)
