The point I'm making is that if the initialization is moved into the |
11 |
binary, then the binary will have to be patched/modified/whatever. |
12 |
There's already somebody with a systemd overlay. Assuming that the |
13 |
initialization code gets shoved into the binary, how does it |
14 |
simultaneously support openrc/systemd/linux/bsd/Sun/HPUX/etc/etc? The |
15 |
only realistic answer I see is leaving the init code to the distro |
16 |
maintainer. We don't expect the upstream for sshd or any other software |
17 |
to write Gentoo-specific stuff like ebuilds. Whey should they be |
18 |
expected to write Gentoo-specific initscripts? |

So you're saying you wouldn't have supported... |
