I installed OpenRC in one Devuan machine - and it works just nicely. But nevertheless i note some particularities.
- Just as an appearance: While in Manjaro/Arch Linux, running openrc and not systemd, there is a nice clear order, when it comes to start the processes/daemons/services managed by openrc, the msgs in devuan maintain still the somehow "chaotical" appearance ... - Seems it is not possible to simply transport the openrc scripts, from arch or gentoo. Their system, which i find pretty clear, is to have the configuration of the services in /etc/conf.d/ and the service scripts itself in /etc/init.d/. In devuan/debian this way seem to *NOT* work; i tried with the zram-init script and it does not come up. In dmesg i found this error msg: [ 2.078384] zswap: default zpool zbud not available [ 2.079454] zswap: pool creation failed In the end, but frankly i'm far away from understanding the complexity of the problem, *IF* openrc in devuan works only as a kind of overlay to sysvinit, why double the problems? I had hope openrc would bring a bit more order - from a user's point of view - in the services and their maintainment. OTOH, the way it works in gentoo or manjaro, for a user is great. Would it be possible to have openrc that way in devuan too?
