The Devuan site [1] is quite clean but as a side effect lacks a direct
link to the new, more simplified build process, and says to ask via
mail. Back in the Red Hat 5.2 days, OpenSSH was one of the packages
where I rolled my own RPMs. APT is different but, famous last words,
how much harder could it be once one gets going? I can probably follow
a recipe reasonably well, and the second or third time should be easy,
but would be constrained somewhat if a dedicated development machine is
needed locally. So I would be interested in seeing how feasible it
would be to maintain that package. Some preliminary searching turns up
nothing about Devuan's build process.

Can you please (re-)post the link to the new Devuan build process?
