Basic support for Devuan #94

Closed evilham closed 7 years ago

evilham commented 7 years ago

Devuan (https://devuan.org/) is a Debian fork without Systemd.

They name releases after planets, the first release (and currently the only one) is called jessie (planet nr.10464) and is, indeed, based after Debian jessie.

It follows the same release model as Debian (jessie = stable, ascii = testing, ceres = unstable).

Adding support for Devuan in ansible-apt means that all common roles get executed against Devuan jessie without issues. (PR incoming)

Sounds fine to me. However, that means that roles which support only systemd init with custom service units will need to provide the sysvinit init scripts as well, correct? And existing support for SysVinit present in the roles shouldn't be removed, either... Well, let's see how it goes.

Yes, I think keeping a systemd independent core is a laudable goal. With the roles in common and the CLI tools, debops is already very useful :-), so I don't think it'd be that much of a problem if some roles don't quite work with devuan. It's worth a try though, as you said: we'll see how it goes!

I'll close this issue, since with this merge, it's already possible to just run debops, use the core and try out other roles / own playbooks. Since support is not official, it's OK if some things are broken.
