Hello all,

We have a bit of an update as to the progress of our project to redo the init
system:

http://rycee.cx/svn/smgl_init/smgl_init_proposal

As you might have followed on the lists, rycee has done allot of the initial
work and we are almost there. His last comments (see below) have resulted in
me posting this call for help. I just don't have the time to take a dive into
this (and probably shouldn't as PL...). So instead of leaving it hanging I am
again asking for help to coordinate with rycee and get this done.

Rycee has this all in a repository and online at:

http://rycee.cx/svn/smgl_init

Feel free to jump in, this is pretty important stuff and we would love to
hear
from you!


Rycee last statements:
===============
"...
1. Essential scripts aren't handled well. I think the problem I'm having
pretty much stems from me not knowing enough about how to make
interprocess communications in bash work.

2. Parallel execution of init-scripts works but makes the output a bit
messy (it gets mixed up). This is what I've mainly been working on
the last couple of days but I think I'm pretty stuck. Was working of
something like a delayed cat.

3. I have a preliminary libinitd script for Sorcery to handle automatic
script installation. The main thing missing from it is a way to
merge updates to init-script config files into the installed config.
