Support for OpenRC

Achara, Jagdish P <jagdishpachara@...>
Hi,
Currently we have the option to choose either sysvinit or systemd . Would, at some point, openrc be included in this list of options to choose from? Jagdish |

Hi,It comes down to the demand for it, whether there are people willing the maintain it, how much of the system its planned to support and so on. It has implications for the testing matrix for example. The hope is individual layers could add support for things like this and that would let people use it and let us gauge demand too. Cheers, Richard |

Devuan has also been testing in support of multiple init systems, which should improve upstream package readiness. So far they have: - sysvinit - openrc - runit Rich |
