Hi Hezekiah, after finally getting cockpit to work on Devuan, it is 
looking good, but (and isn't there always a but :) )

nmp on Devuan (and hence Debian) isn't new enough (this is just for info)

When I ran 'make install', there was an error, it couldn't copy the .xml 
file:

cp org.cockpit-project.cockpit-samba-ad-dc.metainfo.xml /usr/share/metainfo/

This was because in 'Makefile' there was this line:

cp org.cockpit-project.$(PACKAGE_NAME).metainfo.xml 
$(DESTDIR)/usr/share/metainfo/

'$(PACKAGE_NAME)' is set with this line:

PACKAGE_NAME := $(shell awk '/"name":/ {gsub(/[",]/, "", $$2); print 
$$2}' package.json)

and 'package.json' contains this:

"name": "cockpit-samba-ad-dc",

So, it is looking for 
'org.cockpit-project.cockpit-samba-ad-dc.metainfo.xml' but the file 
supplied is actually:

org.cockpit-project.samba-ad-dc.metainfo.xml

Otherwise, good work so far ;-)
