OpenRC README
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
OpenRC is a dependency-based init system that works with the
|
|
system-provided init program, normally `/sbin/init`.
|
|
|
|
## building and installing
|
|
|
|
OpenRC uses the [meson](http://mesonbuild.com) build system, so use the
|
|
usual methods for this build system to build and install.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
We don't support building a static OpenRC with PAM.
|
|
|
|
`PKG_PREFIX` should be set to where packages install to by default.
|
|
|
|
`LOCAL_PREFIX` should be set to where user maintained packages are.
|
|
Only set `LOCAL_PREFIX` if different from `PKG_PREFIX`.
|
|
|
|
`ROOTPREFIX` should be set when the root path is different from '/'.
|
|
|
|
`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.
