Devuan, RPi5 & Linuxcnc Image was created by unknown
As per title, is this something anyone would be interested, not meant as a replacement for the official image. If your new to Linuxcnc I would recommend the images on the download page.
Main reason for experimenting with this image:
Sysvinit rather than systemd, some prefer this option for personal reasons.
I really like the Devuan Project's CoC.....I know this subject can be quite polarizing for some. Yes I know it is "based" on Debian.
Just wanted to have a look at Devuan, so 2 birds with one stone sort of thing.
Out of the box no zramswap.service issue....may not mean much, but there has been a bit of discussion on this front.
Choice, whether this is good or bad or confusing.

I included network-manager & network-manager-gnome for easier network setup. There is some debate regarding the affect on latency, so there is some debate around that. Also some nice stuff such as xarchiver & thunar plugin (create & expand archives via right clicking in thunar file manager), evince (pdf reader) so for those that are curious can read the Linuxcnc docs.
As per the bookworm images menu-config is used to set locales & such and same username:password to login, cnc:cnc.

Have Fun
Rob

Hi Andy,

Output of dpkg --list | grep libgpiod
ii  libgpiod2:arm64                      1.6.3-1+b3

I did a quick load of hal_gpio, didn't run a config, but it loads ok.
spix works fine even with my cobbled together 7c81 clone

Linuxcnc complains about /usr/bin/kill not being there but it's under /bin/kill which might have to do with debian having /bin /sbin & /lib being links to /usr/bin /usr/sbin & /usr/lib/ and Devuan not taking that road.

I'm actually Devuan to make this post.

I've only made a RPi5 image ATM but would you like an RPi4 image made ?
