Hello! Recently I asked for inclusion of 'runit-init' into init metapackage Pre-Depends: (#838480). Response, in particular mentioned, that since 'runit-init' does not provide 'halt', 'reboot' and other scripts, it would break things.
Unfortunately, I did not received reply about following questions: - what exactly would break and what should I test? It is not clear for me, since I am fine without these scripts, running runit-init_2.1.2-8. - what exactly interface is expected from these scripts? For example, shutdown program is rather complex, involving timespecs, access control and tons of command line options, and, if I need to reimplement it (sigh), I would prefer to do as little, as possible. It was quite misleadingly mentioned on #838480 about sysvinit-like system. Runit is not, and while it support /etc/init.d/ scripts as good, as sysvinit, they are still fallback method of managing services.
