Installation
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
Yup, that simple. Works with GNU make, FreeBSD make and pmake. Should work
|
|
|
|
|
with every other make too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may wish to tweak the installation with the below arguments
|
|
|
|
|
LIB=lib64
|
|
|
|
|
DESTDIR=/tmp/openrc-image
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If any of the following files exist then we do not overwrite them
|

|
|
|
/etc/devd.conf
|
2007-11-19 21:40:33 +05:30
|
|
|
/etc/rc
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/rc.shutdown
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/conf.d/*
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/inittab
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rc and rc.shutdown are the hooks from the BSD init into OpenRC.
|
2007-11-23 17:42:38 +05:30
|
|
|
devd.conf is modified from FreeBSD to call /etc/rc.devd which is a generic
|
|
|
|
|
hook into OpenRC.
|
2007-11-19 21:40:33 +05:30
|
|
|
inittab is the same, but for SysVInit as used by most Linux distrubtions.
|
|
|
|
|
Obviously, if you're installing this onto a system that does not use OpenRC
|
|
|
|
|
by default then you may wish to backup the above listed files, remove them
|
|
|
|
|
and then install so that the OS hooks into OpenRC.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-11-23 17:42:38 +05:30
|
|
|
init.d.misc is not installed by default as the scripts will need
|
|
|
|
|
tweaking on a per distro basis. They are also non essential to the operation
|
|
|
|
|
of the system.

History - by Roy Marples
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
I became a Gentoo/Linux developer in 2004 and wrote the modular network
|
|
|
|
|
scripts for the Gentoo baselayout package. baselayout is a collection of
|
|
|
|
|
bash scripts to bring up your computer and it's services.
|
|
|
|
|
Then towards the end of 2005 I found myself as the primary maintainer
|
|
|
|
|
for baselayout.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the start of 2007, baselayout-2 is announced to the world, re-writing the
|
|
|
|
|
core of baselayout in C and allowing POSIX sh init scripts instead of
|
|
|
|
|
forcing the use of bash. By Mid 2007 I have re-written everything, including
|
|
|
|
|
init scripts, and alpha and pre baselayout-2 snapshots where put into Gentoo.
|
|
|
|
|
Towards the end of 2007 I retired as a Gentoo developer for reasons I won't
|
|
|
|
|
go into here. baselayout-2 was still in the pre stage, and aside from the
|
|
|
|
|
fbsd users, it was masked everywhere. However, I also desired to keep the
|
|
|
|
|
baselayout-2 project alive, but outside of Gentoo and into other projects
|
|
|
|
|
such as FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As such, the Gentoo Council have allowed the creation of OpenRC under the
|
|
|
|
|
2 clause BSD license, managed by me as an external project.
