[gentoo-soc] Upstart on Gentoo report #4

[Oliver Schinagl]

So things are definably speeding up, though last weeks Midterm
evaluation was quite the bump in the road.

That aside, this week I'll be trying a new approach temporary, see if I
can take a shortcut. I'll see how much effort it would be, and
experiment a little on trying to get upstart to boot all of our OpenRC
scripts using upstart. There'll be some glue code needed, or glue
scripts but I think this may work quite well and cut dev time
drastically to get something working. Even though being one of those
developers that doesn't want to release anything before it's perfect, I
do completly agree with 'release early, and release often' So if this
shortcut gets us a working upstart system quickly, it'll be well worth it.

Also, i'll be going on vacation Saturday! I'll be online and everything
from there, it's more visiting family, but I do quite look forward to
coding up in the sunny mountains of austria whilst having a nice
conversation with my Grandmother who I only get to see once a year (if
i'm lucky). So nothing will change in regard to GSoC, though I will be
afk whilst driving (no mobile internet).

Until next week, with a new update!
