For those testing different init systems I though this might come in handy. Yes, I know you can switch init programs with the cmdline option "init=" but I this tool actually will change the default init program. I will have to get the sysvinit ebuild maintainer to support this... but so far it works with einit,initng, and jinit out of the box.
NOTE: The first time you use this type 'cp /sbin/init /sbin/sysvinit'
| Code: | layman -a einit
emerge eselect-init |
| Code: | # eselect init list
Available init symlink targets:
[1] einit *
[2] jinit
[3] initng
[4] sysvinit
|
| Code: | # eselect init show
Current init symlink:
/sbin/einit |

Please do not ask about emission stuff here. I'd prefer to talk on irc #evo-mission @ irc.freenode.net (It's up for discussion to come talk to me) |

well done, ryan 
i took the liberty of fixing the digest in the svn, as it reported a digest error when i tried to emerge it, it should work now

I'm assuming this would work with runit by simply adding runit to the list of init_progs.
Haven't tested, though |

yeah i can add it though... having the list of init_progs was the best solution i could come up with at the moment (with out needing the maintainers of the ebuilds to agree on a new location for init bins), or I could scan /sbin/ for *init but then i would need a black list and that wouldnt work for ruint or initng
..if you can think of something better let me know
EDIT: I added runit to the init_progs list and bumped the version to reflect a change; eselect-init-0.1-r1.ebuild should work with runit now.

| eslect-init screws up building sysvinit. I was rebuilding my whole system profile and it failed when it got to sysvinit because of /sbin/init being a symlink. |

i guess i could change it to copy the file instead of symlinking it... or would a hard link work?

i suppose a hard link will be seen as an equivalent of a copy, so that should work.
but then finding out which init is currently selected would get tricky if you used readlink(1) before...
