HumanG33kbgstack15: thx01:19
bgstack15if you have only the tarballs, it's in the PKGNAME_0.0.1.debian.tar.xz file.01:19
bb|hcbHumanG33k: Just read your messages on OFTC/#debian-mentors... Can you explain in more detail what are you trying to do and which is the package in question?01:53
bb|hcbBasically some Debian packages depend on systemd while there is no real need to, and those do not install an initscript - that may be fixed in Debian (if the maintainer agrees to). In case the software actively uses libsystemd but supports disabling that, then the path is to fork it for Devuan. And in case there is no built-in option to disable that dependency then the task may become really02:04
bb|hcbcomplex and require heavy patching...02:04
