Figured I'd get some feedback on this:
I've currently crafting the next major release of Runit for LFS as both a
replacement for the LFS-Bootscripts and BLFS-Bootscripts packages I plan to dub
as LFS-Runit-Services.
The focus of the design will center around a stand-alone stage-1 for booting
the system equivalent of using LFS-Bootscripts plus the Random Number Generator
entropy, as well as basic core networking.
Stage-2 will compromise all previous sysvinit operated services, with the
exception of BLFS's LSB scripts which are nothing more than trigger scripts ran
by a stage-1 processes. This will save a lot of time and effort with the next
implementation. These stage scripts are redrafts and imported commands from
VoidLinux and ArchIgnited with some customizations specifically for LFS.
As a result I've also had to import the service scripts for LSB, several
handling scripts from LFS-Bootscripts for system control, and other things as
well. I'm currently in the process of drafting a Makefile to install and
uninstall scripts as needed, and rework the BLFS-services Makefile to perform
equal actions for the service run files in creating and removing symlinks
between /var/services(/etc/runit/runsvdir/current symlink) and /etc/sv. The
goal is to make a complete swap-out from the book.
My goal is to have at least a minimal service set of scripts out for release by
the first part of August if all goes well.
