Running your own fork is a lot more work than you think.

If you’re serious about this, start by building your own Apt repo with your custom kernel, apt zap-dist.conf files, and some meta-packages that depend on stuff in Devuan unstable. Once you can get to the point of installing your fork by taking a stock Devuan system, adding your repo to /etc/apt/sources.d/ and running “apt-get install zap-linux”, you’ll have a good baseline for a full fork.

Good luck with it.
