I hadn't seen InitNG so I can't compare. The license would be an issue for upstream FreeBSD though (assuming you want something that is not Debian specific). Launchd is the init system for MacOS X and I understand it was the inspiration for systemd. I linked a nice video on the FreeBSD Wiki page. At a time some GNU/linux distributions were considering it but the license (APSL) was not attractive; now it's under the Apache license (which is GPL3 compatible) so that shouldn't be a problem anymore. There is no guarantee FreeBSD will adopt anything new but at least with launchd there was sufficient interest to spend a GSoC project on it. I understand you want to have a set of scripts that make things behave as systemd so maybe this is easier with launchd. cheers, Pedro. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
