Package: runit-init
Version: 2.2.0-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: João Pedro Malhado <[email protected]>, [email protected]
I received a private mail with a report about runit as init on Hurd,
and it looks there are missing pieces
[writing this bug as a reminder for myself]
João, feel free to follow-up here if/when you have further infos.
So it looks like Hurd kernel first runs /etc/hurd/runsystem script which is
handled via alternatives; at the end the script exec /sbin/init.
When sysvinit-core is installed, /etc/hurd/runsystem.sysv is used;
on runit-init side, at least the following is needed:
* install a /etc/hurd/runsystem.runit and update the alternatives
(/etc/hurd/runsystem.sysv invokes init with parameters that are not ok for
runit-init)
* mount proc at boot: proc is not mounted automatically (as it is in linux);
in sysvinit the mount is done inside the /etc/init.d/rc script, not used by
runit-init
* runit-init for now conflicts with sysvinit-core so either remove the conflic
for Hurd
or at least make sure that when runit-init is installed the alternative of
sysvinit-core
is removed; this may require cooperation of Hurd porters and/or sysvinit
maintainers
on getty-run side:
* getty tty[n] uses the 'linux' parameter which is wrong for Hurd (no parameter
at
all seems ok)
and maybe few other things
