for my GSOC 2020 I want to work on Openrc init system of Gentoo by |
| 5 |
improving its performance. Currently openrc is using a lot of tools and |
| 6 |
processes to start a simple service scripts (POSIX shell, |
| 7 |
start-stop-daemon, rc-depends, rc-sstat...) and use shell to parse init |
| 8 |
scripts. these things make openrc slow to start services and result in slow |
| 9 |
bootup, so idea is to develop some native tools for openrc that will parse |
| 10 |
the service scripts files, check prerequisites, start services daemons or |
| 11 |
commands. |

I used openrc under gentoo, and setup it on arch, void and lfs, and found |
| 14 |
it really awesome (i don't like systemd) and found openrc a better |
| 15 |
alternative of systemd. Also i already a simple and minimal service manager |
| 16 |
like tool that will parse a service file in INI format and start or stop a |
| 17 |
service. I will now trying to developed some similar tools for openrc to |
| 18 |
boost its performance and i found gsoc 2020 a better way to interact with |
| 19 |
this organization and develop this tools under proper guidance. |

| 21 |
any further guidelines about the possibilities and issue will be very |
| 22 |
helpful |

Thanks for the time and consideration |
