Brian MasinickModeratorFrom everything I have read so far, upgrading to antiX 25 is not going to be an easy undertaking. Unless @anticapitalista or someone else comes up with a formula and a set of instructions, (remove these packages, change the repository, update these packages first, etc.), I don’t think it’s a good idea to upgrade. If you do try a test version, back up your information, then install what you want. Personally I keep several USB Flash Drives so I can go back and forth to various versions running live or I can install them. Right now I have antiX 23.2 Full Runit and antiX 25 Beta 2 installed on my Thinkpad T14 and I have s6-66 finally working, so that’s what I’m using at the moment. Three of the four init variations are working for me. I’ve had no success getting the installed s6-rc working; I’ve manually started Connman on the live instance, but it’s not properly configured to run in the usual ways.
On the antiX 25 image runit works the best; it doesn’t need any help getting services running; they start normally. Dinit is almost working cleanly, though I’ve had to manually restart or toggle between Ceni and Connman to get it working properly.

anticapitalistaForum AdminThis is for sid and testing users.
As promised (LOL), new init setup debs already in trixie main repo (used on beta1 but not any of the alphas) in sid/dev and testing/dev will be moved sometime this weekend if dave has time.How smooth will it be? No idea.
Since we only had runit and sysVinit releases, other inits are likely to break.
runit users will need to make sure that they have the basic service files to boot to X and to desktop.You will definitely need the following:
runit-service-boot-module
runit-service-dbus
runit-service-seatd
runit-service-udevdThese are likely to be needed
runit-service-connman
runit-service-dhcpcd
runit-service-slimski
runit-service-sshOthers available that you might need
runit-service-acpid
runit-service-cups
runit-service-acpi-support
runit-service-dbus
runit-service-mpd
runit-service-rsync
runit-service-anacron
runit-service-network-manager
runit-service-smartmontools
runit-service-avahi-daemon
runit-service-elogind
runit-service-ofono
runit-service-spice-vdagent
runit-service-bluetooth
runit-service-gpm
runit-service-rpcbind
runit-service-haveged
runit-service-chrony
runit-service-libvirtd
runit-service-rsyslog
runit-service-xrdp
runit-service-lightdm
runit-service-samba

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

MemberFor Siddites with a sysvinit only system, are there likely to be any issues?

No idea to be honest. but I assume there won’t be.

Since I don’t recall having elogind etc on antiX 23.2

anticapitalistaForum Admin@j0ta – are you running testing or sid?
acpid – you can force install it
dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/runit-service-acpid_0.1.0_all.debor don’t install (purge) runit-service-acpid
lightdm should not install elogind.
However, make sure you have consolekit installed.Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
