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) |
