OpenRC & baselayout-2

Cardoe wrote this in the wee hours:

I know everyone’s wondering when this will hit the tree and I have an answer for you. I’m actively working with the necessary people to make this happen. OpenRC 0.1 was my target originally but I was away the weekend after it came out, then Roy announced an ABI break due to issues with his use of realloc. (Bad Roy! Bad realloc! Though I was not one of the complainers.) So basically Gentoo is going to wait for OpenRC 0.2 and then bring it into the tree initially masked until we can sync everything together and then unleash it to ~arch shortly there after.

The associated bugs for this are #212696 and #213988.

    Nice. Will be interesting to see how much the boot time will decrease.

    Actually I’d be more interested how it handles crashed daemons. The OpenRC site states that the package “Ensures daemons really start and tracks them so you know when they’ve crashed” … i hope this reads as “Can respawn daemons” …
