Hi Petter, Thanks for your reply. That's ok, I don't think I need admin rights anymore, since I have created a new OpenRC project on Alioth. And the people who contributes to it have already joined. :) > Please bring it up on the [email protected] > mailing list, to give everyone a chance to chime in.

This would help Hurd guys, and help us on OpenRC to show everyone that we have a good solution for non-linux ports. This has already been tested and working, we would very much love to see it directly supported by the package. What's holding applying the patches of #721917? Would it be ok if I apply the patches, and NMU sysvinit in Debian experimental with them? > I notice though there should be some cleaning in the project member and > admin list.
