How similar is a current RPi to a Banana Pi? Someone on the #xroutine
IRC channel succeeded with Void Linux on a BPi. Void is an independent
distro with different strengths and weaknesses to a Devuan-based system,
but they may still have some useful tips. I gather it wasn't entirely
plain sailing :)

There's a brief mention of it here:
