Re: refracta or devuan or based isos

I am planning to do the same.
But look at the thread in experimental: I installed as minimal as possible (xorg, icewm, tilda) and still ran into stuff depending on libsystemd0 (in the end it was tilda).
removing tilda dist-upgrade would still install libsystemd0, and installing it will break startx (gotta find the bug-report).

tilda doesn't need libsystemd0

apt-get install tilda

Just out of interest- if you are still running testing/ascii.

Does adding the antiX testing repo help at all?

deb http://antix.daveserver.info/testing testing main nosystemd

Might be an idea, and a good one.
We talked in IRC how and if antix does that (testing), but no one knew.
I guess if there were problems, you would have mentioned them.

antiX still uses Debian repos and our own nosystemd packages for jessie, testing and sid. Sometimes we lag behind a day or so when there is an upgrade of a systemd package in Debian e.g. cups and we catch up to provide a nosystemd version of that package.

I don't know how up to date Devuan ascii is compared to Debian testing. My guess is that ascii packages are quite a bit behind (fair enough in some ways since Devuan is focussing on stable at the moment, as mentioned earlier in this thread by a poster). This *might* cause issues if using the antiX testing repo.
