[ Below all not directed to John, just additional comments ] If suddenly OpenRC (or whatever) gets loads and loads of contributors, gets lots of init scripts, solves/provides an logind alternative and does whatever to improve then it should be supported. However, the support should come from the OpenRC team / interested people. You cannot assign :-P IMO (and I'm an interested part / GNOME dude, so no say): blocking progress is bad. So if someone wants to add OpenRC scripts to packages and maintenance is low: as packager you should be allowing that to happen. As long as the time required on packagers part is minimal. Only by not blocking progress things can move to working nicely. But that also means that it really falls under the task of people interested in something different to make such change happen. At the moment there is too much "blocking progress" going on IMO (but then against anything other than sysvinit). -- Regards, Olav -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
