I am attaching my first crack at virtual/init. |
| 23 |
This is a virtual for packages which provide some kind of init process. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
If no one has responded in 48-72 hours, I will do the following: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
1. add this to the tree |
| 28 |
2. add it to profiles/base/packages. |
| 29 |
3. add a sysvinit use flag to openrc, which will be off by default. When |
| 30 |
it is on, openrc will block sysvinit since it will provide /sbin/init |
| 31 |
and /sbin/shutdown. |

Thoughts? |
