34 Hi Gaurav,
35
36 you may know OpenRC already from your Gentoo machines, it's the service
37 management fronted of "sysvinit" that handles the startup/shutdown of services
38 in various runlevels incl. dependencies.
39
40 What I can say is:
41 The rc_parallel (so starting services parallel) feature needs some love. There
42 are some issues re service dependencies, locking etc.
43 https://bugs.gentoo.org/391945
44 https://bugs.gentoo.org/360013
45 and some more.
46
47 We also have some issues with links of init scripts:
48
49 There are a lot of other "major" and minor bugs. See
50 http://preview.tinyurl.com/openrc-bugs
51
52 You can also ask us via IRC if you want (just stay longer, remind the different
53 timezones so it may take some time till one replies :P)
