Many people agree that sysvinit with its symlinks and run levels is overly complex for the common use case. > The main issue with switching from sysvinit to something else is just > finding someone willing to do the work. As I wrote before, hundreds of scripts could be involved. Daniel Reurich observed that bug reports could be filed with each package, and then resolved as scripts are added. The upstream software developer may not care about multiple init systems, so the burden would be on the Devuan package developer to support them. It would be great if some automated tools could do this, but programmatically parsing and transforming shell scripts is a task that will be fraught with complexity. Perhaps some examples to follow for each init system will be enough for packagers, or init system advocate teams to write the necessary scripts. cheers, -- Joel Roth _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
