Probably you missed the point. Maybe because you don't really know what OpenRC is about and what it does. Let's say we don't bring in new packages, then it's 100% supported *right now* in Debian, using the already existing LSB header init scripts. If there's new packages, then it's probably more easy to use the simplified runscripts rather than the traditional sysv-rc LSB header init.d scripts. Also, it is my understanding that we wouldn't force anyone to add support unless a patch is provided. I have no problem with that rule. What additional work are you therefore talking about? It'd be actually less work. The goal here is to *simplify* the maintenance of init scripts (as well, for non-linux ports), by making it possible to use the OpenRC syntax instead of the one of LSB header scripts which everyone wants to get rid of. OpenRC addresses the needs of about the 160k current users of sysv-rc. This has nothing to do with the 800 systemd users (note: if you didn't get it, I well know this is silly stats, I'm just using the same kind of argumentation to show how pointless it is to use these stats in such a way). Now that systemd is to become the default init system, at least let us discuss peacefully about ways to address the problem of its non-availability on some ports, and how to deal without systemd (also on linux ports), for those who don't want to use it. If you aren't interested in this topic, just don't read. Nobody forces you to do so. The topic well identifies the content of the thread. > Also, if I were bashing it just for fun then I would not forget > mentioning its Gentoo origin. Very constructive. Thanks.
