The current init system is old. Ancient. We should all agree on it. Devuan is looking for a new init system that is not systemd and my personal choice for this task from now on is Gentoo's OpenRC.
In Debian, years ago, effort was made to get OpenRC running. Utter fail. The developers kept the old LSB initscripts and made such an ugly job to make OpenRC work with them, while kicking out OpenRC initscripts from the way (which are, by the way, much more readable and elegant than LSB). I would like to revive this effort, and this time do it properly, keeping OpenRC in /etc/openrc/ along with its own initscripts. Each package that has its initscript would have to include a new, OpenRC-specific initscript. There are really no good arguments to use LSB initscripts with OpenRC. While it may not seem much, this task is not a one-person-job and therefore I am looking for co-maintainers of the OpenRC package for Devuan. Please let me know if you are interested in co-maintaining a new init system for Devuan with me. Cheers! -- ~ parazyd 0333 7671 FDE7 5BB6 A85E C91F B876 CB44 FA1B 0274
