Dear Steve, I understand your frustration, and I share most of it, but I can't see anything wrong with discussing the possibility of generating initscripts from existing unit files (which is something that, at least in part, already exists [0]). I personally like the ideas behind process managers like runit (I have also had a look at shepherd, for instance), but if you want it to happen in Devuan somebody should work on it and make it real. And now is a good time to do that, since Beowulf is in the making. Unfortunately, pointing to a bunch of scripts is not enough: you need somebody who has experience of using runit who is willing to package the whole stuff in a coherent way, IMHO.
