[Soc-coordination] Weekly Report 13 - OpenRC init system in Debian

[Bill Wang]

Hi everyone,

This is a report of this week.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary for I have done:
-- Remove .sh file check from librc-depend.c, it is also init script in
Debian.
-- Ignore OpenRC boot runlevel, Debian have not this runlevel.
-- Got a solution that OpenRC boots with standard inittab.
I added rc and rcS script into /etc/init.d/, call OpenRC to change runlevel.

Problem:
-- shutdown did not seem to work perfectly, daemons aren't cleanly
shutdown before powered off.
the issue from Thomas.
-- Fail to build from source in Sid.
-- lsb.pl have some problem, can not convert properly virtual facility
names.
Some service does not exist defined in /etc/insserv.conf.

Planning for next time:
-- Testing shutdown to find problem lies.
-- Fix the FTBFS (Fail To Build From Source) in Sid.
-- Get a solution to solve does not exist service.
-- Perhaps mentors have other requirements.

Cheers,
Bill
