@navi @benjamineskola @RootMoose @rl_dane @2something already works for sysinit, but nothing yet I would daily drive. Though I would really need testing of all init scripts that do not exist yet as native openrc service, such as ssh, apache, ...

@rl_dane @RootMoose @benjamineskola
you'll want https://salsa.debian.org/helmutg/dpkg-root-demo/-/merge_requests/11 and https://salsa.debian.org/debian/openrc/-/commits/wip/native. This works for a bare sysinit, but I did not test more than that. Note that this is highly experimental and you need to build your own packages.

@rl_dane @benjamineskola @RootMoose haha, no. It still works, but the default is still systemd and most is catered towards that.

@rl_dane yeah....
Though I really like openrc, it is like a mature sysvinit. Once that support has landed and the rough edges are done this should be a very solid experience. The major missing services are ssh, dbus, bluetooth, some dns(avahi?), cron.

@rl_dane @navi with any luck Debian forky will ship a usable openRC with fully native services
