Package Information

Description:

runit is a process supervision suite with a focus on being usable as a sysvinit replacement. It provides similar functionality to packages like <pkg>sys-apps/s6</pkg> and <pkg>sys-process/daemontools</pkg>, and a compatibility/migration path for the latter. As this package only provides an init and service manager, it still depends on <pkg>sys-apps/openrc</pkg> for the rc layer inbetween. This package installs the vanilla upstream version of runit. By contrast, the package in the ::gentoo repository gives you Debian's patchset which diverges significantly from the original.
