This is an important suggestion, which parazyd himself was evaluating yesterday, noting that among the errors made in the previous openrc packages was this one: put the files of each init system in the same /etc/init.d directory, basically making them overlap. I agree we should adopt the policy you are proposing in Devuan. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
