Svante, I got packages from zap. zap, I got your email, it's just the Lurker
that is limited to 40k (which means you can only send some 30k (because mail
encodes in base64) in one email
DIGRESSION
I vote for the limit to be raised at least to 100k (and so I'm CC'ing Rick
Moen, who, IIUC, administers Lurker)
DIGRESSION END

...but I got them:

(for the archives --web readers in the future--, these packages are of little
important, Devuan will surely be fully OpenRC-friendly soon from the time of
this writing)

And also thanks to Adam Borowski whe replied as well.

sysvinit-utils_2.88dsf-59.9_amd64.deb is what I got from zap (see above)

Got from zap:
util-linux_2.29.2-1+devuan1_amd64.deb
(hashed further above)

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Devuan
Description:    Devuan GNU/Linux 2.0 (ascii)
Release:        2.0
Codename:       ascii
$

And it's amd64, my arch.

I hope I got all the ingredients now and all the instructions so that I can try
and install OpenRC.

And then I'll report back to the list.
