In the longrun, I think it would be worth the initial effort. So, if distributors considered supporting (the option of using) initng, it would require a man-month or two to get all of the supported services working correctly. It also provides a gentoo-style, BSD-inspired runlevel configuration layout, with a tool called ng-update that works (pretty much) the same way as rc-update on Gentoo.
Need = system/initial system/mountroot system/modules system/pcmcia Įxec daemon = daemon = -s /var/run/stab Not only does initng really speed up the boot process a great deal, but the initscript format is really simple. The two major problems with this arrangement are that 1) there are many services in, let’s say, the debian repositories that don’t yet have initscripts shipping with initng, and 2) the provided initscripts are developed by someone running distribution A who might make assumptions that cause the script not to work with the same service on distribution B.

The problem is that distributors don’t package initng compliant initscripts with packages that provide services, so the initng developers must ship a broad selection of initscripts for commonly used services along with initng.
I was trolling the Gentoo Forums the day JimmyW (ice cream truck driver by day) released the first version.Īs far as I know (I haven’t been following development that closely since very early on) the initng core has stabilized to a large extent. Initng is an outstanding, yet disruptive, technology.
