The Debian bug I quoted was a RFP (request for pakage) for s6, it was
the closest I could find to a s6 package. Since then I've found:
https://github.com/lwf/s6-packaging
Which is the stuff necessary for a s6 .deb
Note that, as far as I know, this doesn't provide enough stuff for using
s6 as pid 1.
By the way, anyone here good at Devuan packaging and also would like a
runit package? I could probably put together a Devuan/runit Vagrant
file, from which we could make a package.
You don't have to make a runit package for Debian/Devuan -- it exists
already.
What is missing is the runit-init package, i.e. runit as pid 1, which
was removed as nobody had the time to fix bug 861536.
I guess Devuan could just live with the bug, or declare it fixed by
documenting it.
Or someone who was interested could fix it and get runit-init back into
Debian (and, therefore) Devuan.
