Package: openrc Version: 0.45.2-2 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected]
Dear maintainers, as of now, openrc still needs the initscripts package to work. Some of the services for a base debian install (/etc/init.d) are provided by openrc, some by sysvinit. for f in *; do head -n 1 $f; done | grep openrc shows only three openrc scripts (on my setup): agetty, cgroups and savecache. See also the patch I attached to illustrate that most sysvinit scripts could be replaced by their "native" ones. This leads to some duplicates such as shutdown being the sysvinit /usr/sbin/shutdown instead of /sbin/openrc-shutdown (the "correct" one). When executing sudo shutdown, this causes my machine to never shutting down as it exits all processes but then changes into runlevel 6 for some reason. /sbin/openrc-shutdown -p 1 works as intended. Also, some initscripts are provided by upstream but not used, like hostname. This leads me to the following questions: 1. Is there a reasoning behind this (shipping two scripts / only the sysvinit one) ? 2. If not, is is possible to replace all sysvinit scripts by the upstream ones because of better integration (native) and possibly fewer bugs ? 3. is it technicially possible to start a headless Debian install without any sysvinit scripts ? I'd also propose an openrc-initscripts package to provide openrc-scripts from gentoo or alpine for packages not covered by the base openrc package. Similar to the orphan-sysvinit-scripts package this would provide users with the "native" version of initscripts for programs. Gladly I'd help/get started on debugging/testing/packaging. I'm sorry if I missed some important technical bits, am still grasping how some aspect of the linux init and openrc work. I'd appreciate any kind of help or guidance. --- Matthias Geiger -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.0.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: OpenRC (via /run/openrc), PID 1: init LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages openrc depends on: ii insserv 1.24.0-1 ii libaudit1 1:3.0.7-1.1+b2 ii libc6 2.36-6 ii libeinfo1 0.45.2-2 ii libpam0g 1.5.2-5 ii librc1 0.45.2-2 ii libselinux1 3.4-1+b3 openrc recommends no packages.
