Why should OpenRC and Upstart adapt to a format that is not standardized in _any_ way? The format specification should be written by Debian people (including downstream), and be a common denominator for all init systems wanting to be compatible. The proposal could be based on the LSB headers, and a good extension to that has recently been proposed by the sysvinit maintainer: Two line init.d scripts https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/02/msg00106.html Additionally a very good proposal for a PID 1 program was in http://ewontfix.com/14/ "Broken by design: systemd", copied here for convenience: #define _XOPEN_SOURCE 700 #include <signal.h> #include <unistd.h> int main() { sigset_t set; int status; if (getpid() != 1) return 1; sigfillset(&set); sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &set, 0); if (fork()) for (;;) wait(&status); sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, &set, 0); setsid(); setpgid(0, 0); return execve("/etc/rc", (char *[]){ "rc", 0 }, (char *[]){ 0 }); } -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
