rustyaxedebootstrapping testing into an empty directory i end up with this wtf moment --  cron-daemon-common depends on systemd | systemd-standalone-sysusers | systemd-sysusers; however:03:16
rustyaxeWhy this happens?03:16
n4dirwhich command did you use?03:17
n4dirin debian stable cron-daemon-common does not depend on systemd, in debian testing it does.03:19
n4dirnot sure who asked about debootstrap, but i got a similar error message for ceres03:43
rustyaxen4dir: debootstrap testing /mnt/test'04:59
rustyaxewhich is what i remember doing in the past to do this heh04:59
n4dirrustyaxe: yeah, as said, i got the same error. am on old-stable, couldn't go for excalibur, but used ceres04:59
n4dirmore i don't know.04:59
n4diri could give you the command i used, but i am not too sure about it, and as said, it fails too05:01
rustyaxelooks like i just need to block cron.. or install 'systemd-standalone-sysusers' which seems cancerous05:07
rrqdebootstrap of ecalibur/ceres require "--exlude logrotate,cron,cron_daemon-common" and "--include=systemd-standalone-sysusers"05:23
rrqcron and logrotate can be installed after debootstrap05:24
onefangTry mmdebstrap instead of debootstrap.05:24
onefangFrom what I understand, mmdebstrap uses apt to figure out dependencies and stuff, but debootstrap doesn't.  So might work better at sorting that sort of shit out.05:25
rrqmmdebstrap breaks the same way05:26
* onefang falls back on "well it's testing and experimental, things WILL break".05:27
n4dirwhat does debootstrap use instead of apt ?05:28
onefangNot sure, but I think it just does things by itself.05:28
onefangI know that I switched to mmdebstrap a couple of years ago, works better for me in general.05:29
n4diri can't say i ran in problems with debootstrap05:30
onefangmmdebstrap actually depends on apt, debootstrap depends on wget, with no mention of any apt things.05:31
n4diruh ... well.05:32
onefangmmdebstrap says "In contrast to debootstrap it uses apt, supports more than one mirror, automatically uses security and updates mirrors for Debian stable chroots, is 3-6 times faster, produces smaller output by removing unnecessary cruft, is bit-by-bit reproducible if $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set, allows unprivileged operation using Linux user namespaces, fakechroot or proot and can setup foreign architecture chroots using qemu-user."05:33
onefangMost of which is important to me.05:34
n4dirit uses dpkg, it seems05:37
HebralonHi, I wanted to install Devuan with a specific setup in mind, issue is, I'm not sure if all of my application (which I'll install in custom repos) will work with Runit or OpenRC, I just wonder if Devuan can use systemD services by any way (just in case?).14:40
HebralonSay, Can I host a server and make it autostart? Can I use.... Cromite or Brave? IWD? I'm kinda clueless.14:46
HebralonIs my question an offtopic?14:49
Hebralon???14:53
djphHebralon: services autostart fine with runit/openrc/sysvinit14:53
djphyou cannot use systemd-units for reasons that should be obvious.14:54
HebralonYeah, I don't mean units I mean services; Say, WIndscribe use a SystemD helper, Will it works?14:55
Hebralon~~I understand, I just don't want to miss some apps~~ NVM, I'll set it up anyway.14:58
djph...15:03
al1r4dHmm, Hebrlaon was left15:03
al1r4dI just want to answer the question15:03
djphal1r4d: they'll either be happy with not-systemd ... or not.15:21
