Good to hear from you Jimmy. Well, if both you and Ismaell thinks that initng-scripts is the way to go i guess that's the way it's gonna be as you are the main devs. Hopefully those people that seems to be a little pissed before will come back when it works smoothly. :D And i can write a script that transform .i to .s when the API is finished.
And I sat here thinking before about what was the most important things in an initsystem for me and two things stands out: 1. Dependency checking (fast boot). 2. Easy to write initscripts. (Daemon restarting when failure is also nice but I can live without it.) So hopefully it will not get too complicated. I mean, .i files are very easy to understand, at least compared to just shellbased ones.
