This wiki page is finished, and passed a first round of critisism |
| 15 |
from #debian-devel. We are expecting it more ;) |

If this will not be included in a timely manner (OpenRC herd is loaded |
| 23 |
with tons of bugs), I'll continue improve on my overlay. |

runit and deamontools and foreground things look really cool. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
bonus things finished on 8.8: |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
tested out runit: it is a good piece of work. I began to doubt why |
| 44 |
systemd would reinvent the wheel for a "built-in" supervisor. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Plans for 8.9 |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
1. foreground some process (ssh, tinc, nginx and squid) and train openrc to |
| 49 |
run them by runit. |
| 50 |
2. Begin to package OpenRC with debian new maintainer's guide. |
| 51 |
3. portage-prefix, follow the discussion result with grobian and |
| 52 |
lu_zero: implement a mechanism to export EPREFIX from within runscript.sh |
