Package: zram-tools
Version: 0.3.7-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: dvdkhlng@???
The zram-tools package only has systemd integration, the zramswap init.d
script is missing, making this very tedious to setup and use.
There appears to be even a Debian bug for this issue [1], filed in 2020.
But as this does not affect most users of Debian, I guess we should not
wait on Debian maintainers here?
The Debian wiki page on zram [2] even links to the proposed init-script
from the bug report [3].
Maybe we should just include that script in Devuan. I manually
installed it here and it works at least for me.
I rely on zram-swap for most laptops, as I don't want swapping to wear
out the SSDs.
cheers,
David
