Hi, I have just started investigating s6. I installed all the programs and, using the s6-linux-init quickstart page, appeared to have things working.
The first few scripts I converted from svinit ( virtualfs and remount rw) compiled and run as expected but the first script using a program on /usr/sbin would not compile, insisting there was no such file. I thought this may be a problem with paths and symlinks ( in LFS /bin and /sbin are symlinks to /usr/{s}bin) so I decided to rebuild s6,s6-rc and s6-linux-init with the --enable-absolute-paths option. Now the quickstart recipe can't work because there is no /etc/s6-linux-init directory which I assume the s6-linux-init install should have created. There were numerous install warnings about programs not being updated. Is there a trick to re installing the s6 programs or have I just made an obvious mistake?
