No, it's my fault. Of all the somewhat disparate and incomplete, and above all
scattered, information, I forwent Adam Borowski's repo, because right then zap
had kindly sent me the packages...

It's good that you linked to it. May need testing. And is good advice to
GNU/Linux users to try it. And because it might turn out just great tool in the
hands of our camp: the non-poetterware, non-lendows, no systemDestruction pure
time-honored u*nix GNU/Linux camp. With OpenRC, they can't say anything is
obsolete, antiquated, overly complex, non-developed... I will shine in
comparison to systemd. And users will like it.

Look, that page of yours

is great, I spent hours this morning. How do you think I would have noticed you
linked to Dev1Galaxy OpenRC topic that I started?... It's not obvious, no
dev1galaxy string verbatim to be found, only in the HTML source.

No, I believe other readers will find it useful too. It already is just fine.

But it's a starting poing, a reference point. She or he who does not shirk from
work, can learn a lot by following your links... And it's hours upon hours if
one delves into it. And then only your own passages shine clearer light to the
mind... I had only a few hours this morning...
