Oggetto: [devuan-dev] bug#503: bug#503: Let's fork iwd for Devuan
Hi Jérôme, that looks like a good alternative indeed. It should be packaged by
Debian though, not Devuan. However, I don't think I can maintain more than two
packages. I already have a a sponsorship request pending on
mentors.debian.net for the xfce4-alsa-plugin package.[1] And now I'm going to
maintain a fork of iwd. So you will have to ask someone else to package eiwd.

I will ask the eiwd dev to consider adding support for sysvinit though. They
might be more open to supporting multiple inits than their upstream iwd. Or
they might just reject it because they want to modify as little as possible
from upstream. Who knows...
