A general solution might take the form of a standard interface for
interaction between eselect modules and package managers, as discussed
in this bug about telling the package manager which kernel you're using:

Well, at least we don't have to worry about users accidentally uninstalling
openssh, nano, or e2fsprogs (too bad if they use any other filesystem
though).  :)

In general we don't have a great way of telling portage what we're actually
using when various packages do more than one thing.  If you have busybox
installed you could conceivably remove a lot of other packages, but most
users don't actually intend for this to happen.

A USE flag that just pulls in a dep seems like the least evil solution
unless somebody wants to come up with a more general one.

Actually, if things like sys-apps/s6 or sys-process/runit remain as
choices for virtual/init, this isn't going to solve the problem of
sys-apps/sysvinit being removed by emerge --depclean. In fact, if
virtual/init is not in the system set, then emerge --depclean will not
even warn about removing a system package when it removes sys-apps/sysvinit.

I have no objection to the USE flag idea. Just put the dependency in
RDEPEND, not PDEPEND. There is no depgraph cycle to be avoided here.

The goal of this is to find a way to accurately reflect the relationship
between openrc and sysvinit in our ebuilds.

The relationship between openrc and sysvinit is best described as a
configurable reverse runtime dependency which we enable by default --
sysvinit uses openrc to bring up the system, but openrc itself does not
have a hard dependency on any init provider.
It did in the past, because it called killall5, which is part of
sysvinit, but that has been changed.

So, the whole relationship is backward in our ebuilds. That, combined
with our distro-wide ban on using use flags for optional runtime
dependencies (also in the devmanual) is why I suggested this.

RDEPEND and PDEPEND have essentially the same meaning when there are
no cycles in the dependency graph. The devmanual suggests that PDEPEND
should only be used to avoid cyclic dependencies.

I don't see any reason to prefer PDEPEND over RDEPEND here, and I
don't understand why that would "feel" better. It effectively gets
treated as a runtime dependency either way.

I don't want this system packages warning to do anything other that
change the display, since it's really based on heuristics. The sysvinit
package wouldn't be removed if it was the only provider of virtual/init,
and it only triggers the warning because it's the preferred provider.

Another option suggested to me was to add a use flag to OpenRC that
pulls in a dependency on virtual/init instead of adding virtual/init to
@system. The suggestion originally was to add it to rdepend, but that
doesn't feel right to me since openrc really doesn't have a runtime
dependency on init, so I'm thinking something like this:

IUSE="... +separate-init"

PDEPEND="
...
separate-init? ( virtual/init )"

Thoughts?

Have you think in changing a bit the behavior of depclean to *not* depclean
system packages and ask administrator to do something like "emerge -a 
--depclean 
--force" to force the depclean of that packages?

That could help to prevent that mistakes I think

At least for system packages, it will show a warning like the one shown

I predict that a non-zero number of users that have sys-apps/s6 or

After some discussion on IRC, I need to drop busybox from this virtual
because it is in packages already. OpenRC needs to be dropped because
for now we do not have a way to make sure both openrc and sysvinit get
installed in stage 3 if openrc is listed both in virtual/init and

If this is really intended to pull in any program that could feasibly
be used as PID 1, there are probably multiple providers missing. A
couple off the top of my head:

sys-apps/busybox
sys-apps/openrc (openrc-init)

If the virtual is meant to represent something else (as I suspect it
is), please elaborate.

selinux might be needed indeed.

For consistency with the one above, this should probably be
sys-apps/systemd[selinux?]

[gentoo-dev] rfc: virtual/init for init process

[William Hubbs]

Hi all,

In the past, openrc has had a dependency on sysvvinit because it called
killall5. Since it doesn't do that any more, I have been asked to remove
the dependency [1]. Another advantage of doing this is that people will
be able to build profiles without an init package, for containers for
example.

To do this, I need to add virtual/init for packages that have an init
process.then add virtual/init to profiles/base/packages.

Please proofread virtual/init as attached before I add it to the tree.

Thanks,

William
