Chris: Have you looked at void linux yet? I jumped ship on arch linux when virusd infected it to the point that it made maintaining runit-run (run-based init in the AUR) extraordinarily difficult. Void defaults to runit as pid1 and provides /etc/sv/<service> directories (runit/daemontools/s6 compatible) for services. It would be a fairly easy task to s6-ize this and offer it as an alternate init to runit without a major overhaul of the distribution. We're also very close to having a fully-musl flavor similar to alpine. I would be happy to package up s6 for void if you're interested in this collaboration. I've only scratched the surface of execlineb thus far and would like some assistance converting void's /etc/runit/1 into an execlineb version. Tj
