We are supervision-scripts. Lower your firewalls and surrender your 
source. We will add your definitions and technological distinctiveness 
to our own. Your framework will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

me...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg_%28Star_Trek%29#cite_note-4


I will most assuredly pursue those 'service bundles' from *all* of the 
above authors when time permits... believe me, I've already scoured out 
most of github and bitbucket.  I've also done a few off of runit's 
definitions.


Nosh is still on my to-do list.  Near as I can tell, it shouldn't be too 
hard to include support for it, but I won't really know until I get a 
full VM cooked.  I think the quickest way to get this accomplished - for 
both nosh and s6 - is to install Debian 8 sans systemd into a VM image.  
From there I can add your new Debian packages to get nosh installed, and 

I will finally have GNU make 4.0 for building s6.

Of course, I do sometimes get to just take systemd units and convert them.

 The list of directories in /services only shows entries for getties, are all
 of the other definitions inside of their respective packages?

That is correct, our packages provide an /etc/sv/servicename if appropriate.

Yes, I'm familiar with Alpine.  It's a great distro in the minimalist
spirit.  I use it for some things locally.  Maybe it is a better use of
my time to contribute to it, rather than going off and doing my own
thing.  I still haven't completely made up my mind on that.

Hi,

I was wondering if we're still in the perpetrator maling lits :D cause I
didn't use to use s6 tools, but yes Chris I'm motivated to work in such
project with you.

Let me know how to get contact with you and participate to the project

Look forward to reading from you.

Best regards,
Eugène NG

I also would use Alpine, except they just don't comprehensively support all
up-to-date packages. ATM, no other linux distro touches  ubuntu + PPA for
package support. Just doing nearly anything. It's pretty much guaranteed.
Therefore, sorry to say: I use ubuntu debootstrap min-base for all server
stuff. And ubuntu desktop for a GUI environment.

There's nothing wrong with extolling the virtues of these respective
distros. However I am a practically person. And when lacking pkgs = not
practical / time efficient to fill in so many missing gaps.

I do agree with the sentiments here and hope that pkg support may continue
improve for alpine linux in particular. But i myself simply cannot justify
changing over until then. Being realistic the timescale is probably more
towards several years than several months.

You can disagree with me on the respective levels of package support. But
I'll probably just laugh at you all.
Kind Regards
