\o/ this is pretty cool and significantly more than I thought
would be the beginning.

Let me just add: not only creating the Merge Requests, but also
requesting support for X should also be helpful in that we get to
know which packages and user-services are having issues with.

Of course, ideally: contributed work is better than just asking
for things to get done :-).

Maybe the path to officially supporting runit can start by calling
everyone who uses it one way or another to contribute some svdirs.

There is not much to it really, a line I'd use in ~/.xprofile is
something like:

/usr/bin/runsvdir -P "$HOME/.services/enabled" "log:
................" &

And it should start and stop along with the X session (I don't
think it's a good idea to have these services start on regular
sessions).

Using the above should do that.

Thank you for looking into it and actually documenting it and
improving on the whole thing.
