[Soc-coordination] Weekly Report 12 - OpenRC init system in Debian

[Bill Wang]

Hi everyone,

This is a report this week.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary for I have done:
-- Resolved --lockfd causes problem, the bug come from
lsb-header-support.path.
-- Discard /lib/lsb/init-functions solution, /sbin/runscript directly
exec script service.
-- Fixed update-rc.d bug, runlevel single to sysinit and reboot to shutdown.

Problem:
-- shutdown did not seem to work perfectly.
-- Fail to build from source in Sid.
-- Must be modify /etc/inittab.
-- lsb.pl have some problem, can not convert properly virtual facility
names.

Planning for next time:
-- Get the shutdown to shutdown properly.
-- Fix the FTBFS (Fail To Build From Source) in Sid.
-- Work out a patch so that OpenRC boots with standerd inittab.
-- Modify lsb.pl to work properly.
-- Perhaps mentors have other requirements.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Cheers,
Bill
