Debian has a small, yet fairly unique little package called "file-rc" that |
24 |
replaces their more traditional init system with a single text file, |
25 |
/etc/runlevels, to manage system services. A small utility runs that parses |
26 |
the text file and sets up the /etc/rc.x symlinks for you, based on that file. |

Fairly novel little package. Wholly-incompatible with Gentoo's system, |
29 |
without fully replacing OpenRC, but I would actually be interested in seeing |
30 |
something like this on Gentoo (such as something that simply parses and |
31 |
executes rc-update to change things). |
