What metric are you using to determine "maintained". I'd recommend that you don't use "the number of bugs fixed", but the "number of bugs not fixed". An init system with a high number of bugs fixed per year is not actually desirable. Good software doesn't need to be constantly updated.
runit: is it still maintained and does it have a CVS repository?
I have a slightly older (version 2.1.2) mercurial repository at this address: https://bitbucket.org/avery_payne/runit It should not be far behind whatever is "current". That being said, unless you have a specific need for runit, s6 & friends are probably the way to go.
Re: runit: is it still maintained and does it have a CVS repository?
From what I can tell runit's last release was made in 2014 so I am wondering whether it is still maintained. Additionally from what I can tell there is no CVS (or modern equivalent like git) repository for runit, is this true? If there was one I would not have to ask whether it is still actively developed, unless there was no commit activity at the repository, of course. Your FAQ doesn't address either question, nor do DuckDuckGo searches on this topic. Hello, and happy new year. You can probably infer the answer from the lack of responses you've gotten. For what is worth, there are people working on runit in the framework of distributions. I believe there's a bug-tracker for runit on Debian, for instance; and the Void Linux distribution uses runit as its init system, and certainly has specialists maintaining their runit version. So it's kinda maintained - unfortunately in various directions by different distributions. runit works, and this list knows how it works. If you have runit questions, we are able to answer them here - so if you just want to use runit, you can, and you can get support here. If you're looking for supervision software that looks like runit, talks like runit, walks like runit, is actually actively maintained, and has a community that exchanges without distribution boundaries, may I suggest s6? (If you wonder about development status: a new version of s6 was *just* released.) -- Laurent
