I searched for sinit on the gentoo-user archives and couldn't find anything, there's only a few Reddit threads which don't help much. Would it be possible to follow the steps here[1] to use sinit + daemontools-encore on Gentoo, or are there hard dependencies on OpenRC that make this impossible?This is completely for fun. I'm aware of discussions of this init vs. that init and I don't hate systemd/OpenRC or anything like that. Again, this is just for fun. I'm willing to do a lot of work myself to make this work, but if Portage or some other core Gentoo subsystem doesn't play well with sinit or daemontools-encore it'd be just a waste of time.

Chiming in a bit late, but what you want to do would be totally feasible: I actually run gentoo with s6-linux-init (instead of sinit) and s6 (instead of daemontools-encore). As someone else said, the most troublesome part is writing service scripts for every service I need since none are provided by gentoo packages.
Have fun. :)
