Hi! On the road to a viable jwm desktop in devuan, i am using/trying open-rc. In advance, my excuses if what follows is not sufficiently technical.
To the point: From Manjaro-OpenRC i knew openrc as a clean and logical system to manage daemons & processes. By far, from a user point of view, superior to sysvinit. Now, the transition from sysvinit to openrc in devuan is mostly painless. BUT: I'm under the impression in devuan/debian openrc works only as a kind of wrapper around sysvinit. An example: I installed a zram script (still when i had sysvinit as init manager). Now, this script is configured to openrc in this way: "rc-update add zram boot" (which adds the zram daemon to the boot level to have it ready early; could be added also to default). Now, when i remove it by "rc-update del zram boot" it is not even more present for openrc - but nevertheless, it is still started at any reboot. For me, that means, openrc is *NOT* the real init manager - at least in its debian implementation. It would be nice to have openrc implemented as it is in gentoo or manjaro: with the to essential directories: /etc/conf.d (where all the scripts for openrc are configured) /etc/init.d (where the scripts that are configured in /etc/conf.d sit) May be in that way, it would be also easier to use the existing scripts in gentoo and arch/manjaro (maintained by artoo). I ask here, because i know here are some competent openrc coders. Thanks in advance for any pointer! _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
