Ok, the option that I'm looking at now is to set up openrc so that the |
| 14 |
init scripts are optional and whether or not they are installed is |
| 15 |
controlled by a use flag which I will default to on in IUSE. Most people |
| 16 |
would leave this flag alone, but if you want to use something like |
| 17 |
systemd and do not want the init scripts or the /etc/runlevels directory |
| 18 |
on your system, you would just re-emerge |
| 19 |
openrc with this flag disabled. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
For now this flag will just control init scripts installation, but I |
| 22 |
will also look into taking it further and not installing other parts of |
| 23 |
openrc, such as binaries, man pages, etc which are only used if you are |
| 24 |
working on init scripts. |

Thoughts? |
