OpenRC README ============= OpenRC is a dependency-based init system that works with the system-provided init program, normally `/sbin/init`. Currently, it does not have an init program of its own. ## Installation OpenRC requires GNU make. Once you have GNU Make installed, the default OpenRC installation can be executed using this command: make install ## Configuration You may wish to configure the installation by passing one or more of the below arguments to the make command ``` PROGLDFLAGS=-static LIBNAME=lib64 DESTDIR=/tmp/openrc-image MKBASHCOMP=no MKNET=no MKPAM=pam MKPREFIX=yes MKPKGCONFIG=no MKSELINUX=yes MKSTATICLIBS=no MKSYSVINIT=yes MKTERMCAP=ncurses MKTERMCAP=termcap MKZSHCOMP=no PKG_PREFIX=/usr/pkg LOCAL_PREFIX=/usr/local PREFIX=/usr/local BRANDING=\"Gentoo/$(uname -s)\" ``` ## Notes We don't support building a static OpenRC with PAM. You may need to use `PROGLDFLAGS=-Wl,-Bstatic` on glibc instead of just `-static`. If you are building OpenRC for a Gentoo Prefix installation, add `MKPREFIX=yes`. `PKG_PREFIX` should be set to where packages install to by default. `LOCAL_PREFIX` should be set when to where user maintained packages are. Only set `LOCAL_PREFIX` if different from `PKG_PREFIX`. `PREFIX` should be set when OpenRC is not installed to /. If any of the following files exist then we do not overwrite them ``` /etc/devd.conf /etc/rc /etc/rc.shutdown /etc/conf.d/* ``` `rc` and `rc.shutdown` are the hooks from the BSD init into OpenRC. `devd.conf` is modified from FreeBSD to call `/etc/rc.devd` which is a generic hook into OpenRC. `inittab` is the same, but for SysVInit as used by most Linux distributions. This can be found in the support folder. 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. ## Reporting Bugs If you are using Gentoo Linux, bugs can be filed on their bugzilla under the `gentoo hosted projects` product and the `openrc` component [1]. Otherwise, you can report issues on our github [2]. Better yet, if you can contribute code, please feel free to submit pull requests [3]. ## IRC Channel We have an official irc channel, #openrc on freenode, feel free to join us there.
