Also, the distribution will provide s6 and sinit as alternatives to busybox init. * Provided with s6 is an optional init (based on Rich Felker's Init) that execs into s6-svscan making s6 PID 1 for the runtime of the system. * The baseinit package will no longer provide the inittab file. This is now instead provided by the busybox package. * Documentation can be found here: - baseinit $/kisslinux/init/blob/master/README - rc.conf $/kisslinux/init/blob/master/etc/rc.conf - s6 $/kisslinux/repo/blob/1a3fbbd0b211e89e7d4df3b9225573a30edd3812/extra/s6/README - sinit $/kisslinux/repo/blob/1a3fbbd0b211e89e7d4df3b9225573a30edd3812/extra/sinit/README * The work itself can be seen here: - $/kisslinux/init - $/kisslinux/repo/pull/325 This change will be made in one week (05/09/2021). For those using busybox (init, mdev, runit) (distribution defaults) this should be a non-breaking change, else setup your /etc/rc.conf file to match your setup and await the update.
