題目: Re: [Dng] Slackware systemd creepin in maybe?
I think Patrick means unless systemd becomes 100% unavoidable as a dependency. However as replacement software is made available this will lessen.

Currently we still use udev-classic and ConsoleKit with little else, but as KDE/Plasma5 is being looked at, things are being considered.

Runit is nice, but not without it's problems. We tried to import it to LFS, and did so with moderate success. We did have to import ArchIgnite's init clone tools as init-shim for our project. Our scripts were very alpha grade, to just "get it working", but we did prove it viable.

Runit rocks! IMHO it's one of the very best init systems, and I doubt
it would be difficult for a Devuan end user to retrofit with runit.

I don't know Patrick's or Devuan's opinion of the http://unlicense.org/
style Public Domain, but if it's acceptable, Epoch, while not quite as
full featured as runit, is a dead-bang easy way to add another init to
your system.

These two init systems are much easier to add to uncontaminated distros
like Slackware and Devuan.
