[gentoo-dev] rfc: virtual/init for init process

[William Hubbs]

Hi all,

In the past, openrc has had a dependency on sysvvinit because it called
killall5. Since it doesn't do that any more, I have been asked to remove
the dependency [1]. Another advantage of doing this is that people will
be able to build profiles without an init package, for containers for
example.

To do this, I need to add virtual/init for packages that have an init
process.	then add virtual/init to profiles/base/packages.

Please proofread virtual/init as attached before I add it to the tree.

Thanks,

William
