1 Dear Guys and Gals,
2
3 After the mid term evaluation, this project shifts its emphasis from
4 Prefix support to improving OpenRC (borrowing ideas from brother
5 systems)
6
7 During the last week, the following are finished:
8
9 1. deploy a Debian Unstable(aka. Sid) VM for OpenRC dev
10 2. a deep look into Debian's existing init framework
11 init, LSB headers, insserv
12 3. a check of dependency handling and script sourcing in OpenRC
13
14 Next week, the following tasks are scheduled:
15
16 1. use OpenRC to boot a Debian system
17 2. find a way for OpenRC to use debian LSB init-scripts
18 OR, find a way to convert LSB init-scripts to OpenRC scripts
19 3. Patch OpenRC build system to respect EPREFIX (yes, take this by myself)
20
21 the following tasks are natural consequences and not scheduled:
22
23 a. find a way for debian rc system to use OpenRC scripts
24 OR, find a way to convert OpenRC scripts to LSB init-scripts
25 b. bump OpenRC and push it into Gentoo Prefix tree
26
27 Yours,
28 Benda
