Hi :) we talked in #hurd about stating our position in the ongoing debate about Debians default init system. Here is my draft.
~~~ snip ~~~ We, the Debian/Hurd porters and developers, like to state our position in the current debate about the default init system for Debian. 1. Up to this day, Debian/Hurd has never used the current default init system (sysvinit) but has relied on its own init and rc system. We are prepared to use a non-default init system in the future. 2. We are currently switching to sysvinit for Debian/Hurd. All the Hurd patches are in place, patches for the sysvinit package are awaiting inclusion. 3. We ask that the current sysvinit-compatible init scripts are left in place, so that we can use sysvinit in the future. 4. We acknowledge that there is a maintenance cost involved with keeping the current init scripts. We will help maintain them as part of our porting effort. 5. We look forward to using OpenRC as incremental improvement. OpenRC complements sysvinit by replacing its rc component. Work has started to port OpenRC to Debian/Hurd and is progressing nicely. ~~~ snip ~~~ Justus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
