1 All,

3 I have this bug against openrc:
4
5 https://bugs.gentoo.org/599468
6
7 The reason for the hard dependency on sysvinit in OpenRC no longer
8 exists since we now have a replacement for killall5, and some people
9 want to use openrc and remove sysvinit from their systems.
10
11 Before I drop the dependency on sysvinit from OpenRC, we need a way to
12 install both but not force sysvinit to be installed if someone removes
13 it later.
14
15 Does anyone have any ideas wrt how to do this?

17 Thanks,
