Well no Alex is right with this some stuff won't work at all. I've already made some patches local and added some hacks to get some things wroking. >>> 2) Runit will respawn a service if it dies, no matter what.

I think whatever *I* or the other like it or whatever not you will still try to get some up_foo && up_foo_init_scripts runnig on Frugalware, so the best thing is to *backup* the runit repo and rm -rf it. Then start working on up_foo. The other problem I have with up_foo are the bugs and afaik even on ****buntu are some weird bugs , which just means forget the new init system for 0.6 because is way to late ( already ) and up_foo will need much more testing. - crazy - _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
