In retrospect, my earlier post seems too dismissive. Sorry about that. I've been enthusiastic about other puppy projects (vincentVanPup, puli, FatDog64, DebianDogLXDE) but, no, bolting a puppy liveboot+persistence mechanism onto a devuan base (reproducible builds or not) doesn't strike my fancy. Reading the current pupuan discussion thread, I was turned off by seeing "let's round up the remaining third of the packages we'll need..." along with the detail "download from zippyshare". Somewhere along the way a post mentions a desire for reproducible builds; in the meantime I wouldn't consider booting the iso due to concern for the potential risk (risk of tainted content).
https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... uan/jessiecurrently only 32bit x86 arch, apparently, but good to see they're populating the iso with packages from official repositories
Although I've recommended & customized lxpup for use by a few acquaintances through the years, puppy{'s philosophy} ain't my cuppa. Pupmode27 and pupmode63 and pupmode81... and the wonky file paths, makes my head spin. I do admire PupMenu and PupControl, but the other "puppy flavored" apps (pmusic, pfind, et al) always seem far-removed from being "best tool for the task". Reminds me: each time I've testdriven a newly released puppy variant, I've been mindblown at noting that mlocate is not installed. (On second thought, slocate might have been present in the most recent FatDog64)
https://github.com/antiX-Linux/Build-isoThis is probably analagous to "woof-ce", seems more straightforward, and is already road-tested (used for building MX Linux 15 and antiX 16).
Specific to devuan, IIRC devuan is stated in the
/etc/issue or lsb_release file within the antiX "15-beta3-V" iso (one of my pendrives still has this).
I've never read anyone mentioning that bit of trivia, and the antix16 final iso instead states "Debian Jessie".
