Yes, me. ;) |

But actually, I had a different approach in mind (I believe). One of the |
| 12 |
things that drove me to Gentoo was how the runlevel scripts dealt with |
| 13 |
dependencies. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I have been using a custom baselayout-prefix ebuild for a while (1.5a) |
| 16 |
that actually allows me to start services just like on a normal Gentoo. |
| 17 |
The only drawback is that the runlevel management does not notice |
| 18 |
reboots and thus does not notice when running daemons just went missing. |

My idea was to have a single LaunchAgent plist and that would be |
| 21 |
starting the runlevel management of the prefixed Gentoo just about the |
| 22 |
same way "init" is doing it for normal Gentoo when you log in. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Then one can add service scripts using rc-update or whatever way one |
| 25 |
would use on a normal Gentoo. We would need something for the shutdown, |
| 26 |
too, and here I haven't got any good ideas yet. |

Maybe we can work together one this? |
