You can install openrc in ascii if you like: Note though that the init files are according to Debian. Converting them to the gentoo version is a major task. I have the following packages installed in two VMs running openrc (and eudev): ii initscripts 2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2 i386 scripts for initializing and shutting down the system ii sysvinit-core 2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2 i386 System-V-like init utilities ii sysvinit-utils 2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2 i386 System-V-like utilities ii libeinfo1 0.23-1+b1 i386 dependency based service manager (pretty console display library) ii librc1 0.23-1+b1 i386 dependency based service manager (runtime library) ii openrc 0.23-1+b1 i386 dependency based service manager (runlevel change mechanism) ii libfdisk1 2.29.2-1+devuan1 i386 fdisk partitioning library ii util-linux 2.29.2-1+devuan1 i386 miscellaneous system utilities sysvinit 2.88def-59.9+devuan2 is available in ascii-proposed. util-linux 2.29.2-1+devuan1 will be available in ascii-proposed too when the build succeeds. openrc 0.23-1+b1 is available in ascii already > The main problem we have to solve here is finding a smart way of > letting different init systems become interchangeable.
