Hello Antoine,
I too have a BBB and am interested in Devuan on it.
'
I attempted to follow this webpage https://git.devuan.org/sdk/arm-sdk
but received an error message about a missing "lib32z1" package,
when I did the 'sudo apt-get install ....(list of suggested packages)...
'
I am attempting to send a bug report now.
'
I have put Devuan RC2 with the dist-upgrade to Jessie 1.0.0 final release
on its own harddrive to do the BBB armhf cross compilation -- I hope.
'
one other option I was going to try is to take the current TexasInstrument
linux and follow some dev1fanboy instructions on upgrading it to
non-systemd.
while on the BBB itself.
'
I am new to all this compiling stuff. I did it once 10 years ago; but have
been
using various desktop linuxs for maybe 15 years - just doing light web
surfing,
listening to music, and some office stuff. No real programming.
'
will try to keep us/all posted on my process - I start out good, but
finish lousy.
