This email isn't a recommendation for the Devuan distribution, it's
just some interesting info for the more DIY members of the Devuan
community.
Dear Steve,
I think Devuan, being about freedom of choice and autonomy of
admin, has something to do with DIY. And for this reason you can find
some fans of it here :-)
The init program does initialization with no process management. It
passes control to rc.whatever. In that respect, it doesn't conform to
Laurent's minimum of supervising at least one process, but rc.whatever
can exec to something that manages all processes, so you have only that
one tiny process at risk.
Do you know what that program is doing? And what of it cannot be
done by a script?
For me, the ideal DIY init is a script. I think the shell languages
are just missing a high quality signal handling for scripts to be
eligible as init. Adding the primitives to use the Linux signalfd in a
shell language is maybe the only missing bit to reach that graal.
Didier
