I'd like to disclaim beforehand that THIS ISN'T A PRO-SYSTEMD/ANTI-SYSTEMD PROJECT; IT'S JUST ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE
obarun is an arch-based distro, and it has an init system named 66. This init system is also available on Void linux. For questionable reasons it isn't on Artix and Devuan. It is just a "frontend" to s6, which is a minimal, and modular "build your skeleton we'll provide the bones" process supervision suite. s6 is already available on gentoo, as well as execline. But 66 isn't. A really old version of 66 is available in gentoo on some random overlay, but it doesn't even build correctly, and the commands have since long changed. DON'T CONFUSE WITH S6-RC, it is, by the s6 developer himself, something which uses s6 under the hood just like 66. But it is too complicated for average use. openrc *does* support using s6 under the hood, but again, it needs work... [Anyone willing might just want that, IDK] However, I feel that 66 is a good init system for gentoo, as an alternative to openrc or systemd for those who need it. Most of obarun's boot scripts work well on gentoo, and more underway. I am planning to soon re-package it for official gentoo repos... for usage. What is the opinion of systemd and openrc users of gentoo here? Would it be good?
