If this is really intended to pull in any program that could feasibly |
| 16 |
be used as PID 1, there are probably multiple providers missing. A |
| 17 |
couple off the top of my head: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
sys-apps/busybox |
| 20 |
sys-apps/openrc (openrc-init) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
If the virtual is meant to represent something else (as I suspect it |
| 23 |
is), please elaborate. |
