(Side note: sysv's source code is... "interesting". No wonder everyone just starts from scratch instead of fixing it...)

From wikipedia:

"In all countries where the Berne Convention standards apply, copyright is automatic […]."
"Once an idea has been reduced to tangible form, for example by securing it in a fixed medium (such as a drawing, sheet music, photograph, a videotape, or a computer file), the copyright holder is entitled to enforce his or her exclusive rights."
"In 1989 the United States enacted the Berne Convention Implementation Act, amending the 1976 Copyright Act to conform to most of the provisions of the Berne Convention. As a result, the use of copyright notices has become optional to claim copyright, because the Berne Convention makes copyright automatic."

In free software, licensing is used to ALLOW the distribution of the software, not to prevent it. The fact that we usually don't care to enforce the copyright for our shared scripts doesn't mean that we don't have the right to do that.

The problem is when someone comes along and slaps their own license restrictions on it, passing it off as their own work with a tiny ex post facto footnote buried somewhere giving the original author vague credit for something unspecified.

This childish reaction to being caught doing precisely that further confirms that there was no good intention behind it.

My experiments with runit:

I completly replaced openrc with runit. It boots insanely fast. The longest thing is decompressing the initrd, followed by the udev trigger. In nearly no time i am on X and i can work.

Got the getties fixed. Mount and my network setup are via services. Slim is scheduled to start when home is mounted and the udev-trigger is done.

There is one issue i am not yet understand ....

One time initializations like net.eth0 which run ifconfig/route dont need a process to supervise.

Code:
cat net.eth0/run
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig eth0 192.168.178.19/24 || exit 1
route add default gw 192.168.178.1 || exit 1
exec pause


The "pause" at the exec is a script which runs an endles loop sleep 1.
Code:
cat /usr/local/bin/pause
#!/bin/sh
while true ; do
   sleep 1
done


When i dont have this process, it tells me the service is not up. I know of the check script at the service directory. If it exits 0 it tells runit that the service is ok but sv /service/* tells me it is not up without that "pause". Any hints welcome ...

To answer my own question: Yes it is needed. See voidlinux
https://github.com/voidlinux/void-runit

See the core-services and pause.c

Here's a trick you can use to avoid burning exec() calls on `sleep` processes:
Code:
chpst -L service.lock chpst -l service.lock true

Just posting here to make it known that I've at least currently transitioned from sysvinit/OpenRC to runit/OpenRC. Boot times seems to have improved by a fraction, at least the stage where runit calls openrc seems to be have been noticeably shorter.

My setup involves "/etc/runit/1" calling rc sysinit and rc boot. the former "default" runlevel has been completely ported to runit as for now for me.

Some caveats I encountered (the package is horribly, horribly broken):

- a tty would not show up initially. The ./run scripts in /etc/service/getty{1..6}/run contained /usr/sbin/chpst. Turns out the executable is simply in /bin/chpst. Changing it to either "chpst" or "/bin/chpst" does it for me.
- Same issue as noted above with the tty's than be fixed by using the -P flag on runsvdir within /etc/runit/2
- the ebuild puts SVDIR=/etc/service in /etc/env.d, this is good because putting services in /service is inane. But bad and solves very little because sv expects a /service directory to exists. I symlinked it to /etc/service for now to fix a couple of annoying bugs with sv.

If anyone knows how to port rc sysinit and rc default to runit and do away with openrc completely. I'd love to now.

So an update on a while later of using runit and runsvdir.

I don't want to do away with OpenRC any more for system boot. OpenRC is better at bringing the system online than a simple random shell script which is what you're going to get with Runit, dependencies and parallel boot do matter. So I'm keeping sysinit and boot from OpenRC.

Couple of things which are in my opinion insane defaults on runit but which can be fixed.


    /service, /etc/service, /var/service, they're all horrible choices for that directory that contains the "current" runlevel. On my system it's /run/svon, it needs to be in /run in my opinion. That's what /run is for. /etc is insane because a process really should not write to /etc under normal operation to store its state and hat's what it does. /var is okay I guess but still not as appropriate as /run

    in general, runit loves to write to /etc. I I am philosophically opposed to this so I fixed this by creating symlinks, /etc/runit/{stopit,runit} are linked to /run/runit/{stopit,runit}, it can write in /run all day long. Also, the ./supervise directories in /etc/sv/$service are linked to /run/sv/supervise/$service here because again, stop writing in /etc you bastard

    I created the sv group and made the permissions of the supervise files as such that members of the sv group can ask for the status of services without having to use root. I think it's silly you need to be root to ask for a status.

    since this is reset at boot because /run is on a tmpfs. I actually created a service that actually monitors these permissions and if they are off it resets it back to the right ones, yeh...

    I think storing runlevels in /etc/runit/runsvdir is dumb, runlevels are not part of runit, as far as I'm concerned the runit init system and the "sv" set of process supervision tools are unrelated but some-how packaged together, they do not need each other. So runlevels are stored in /etc/svlevels now with /run/svon always being a symlink to the current level.

    "sv" was too limited, so I made a wrapper around it which can for instance do "svctl status \*" to get the status of all services in /run/svon, it basically performs globbing and does a bunch of other nice things like automatically managing symlinks, changing runlevels, listing available services etc.


Maybe this code will give you people some ideas:

Didn't expect this topic to pick up again...

That one might actually be *my* fault. As in, I submitted a bunch of bugs against the in-tree ebuild to make it less insane a long time ago and the changes therein were only partially applied (and nobody responsible actually bothered to read them, see above).
/bin/chpst is the correct location for that binary because it doesn't need root privileges to work sensibly, nor does it need /usr mounted to function.

Quote:

FWIW, vanilla runit provides a correct /etc/runit/2 and I filed a bug for that too. Gentoo insists on shipping a broken one.

Upstream said something a while ago (in geological timescales) about fixing the hardcoded /service thing, there hasn't been a release since then though.

rc default is really easy to replace (see link in sig, it's almost all one-liners), I don't feel confident enough to do away with rc sysinit though. Too much obfuscated magic going on there.

Quote:

I agree wholeheartedly with this point, but I've been too indifferent to do anything about it. Might give it another try.
To be fair runit itself isn't braindead; its own FAQ says you can symlink all the */supervise/ directories to a tmpfs if you really want and it supports running like this.

Quote:

That's weird and it sounds like Gentoo-specific screwery. There's no reason for those directories to not be world-readable.

It is weird and not necessary, but I find it paranoid to need root to _read_ the status of services. OpenRC and sysvrc allow status to be seen without even being in a specific group as far as I know. Needing to be in the sv group is more than enough.

That said, I've been hacking a bit more. I've modified the sysvinit package to install the init binary in /sbin/sysvinit instead of /sbin/init and made init a symlink which can be changed with eselect from runit-init to sysvinit.

I've partially implemented a system now as well where the eselect link also changes shutdown reboot poweroff and halt links to sysv{shutdown,reboot,poweroff,halt} and runit-{shutdown,reboot,poweroff,halt}. I've implemented a simple script that copies some of the functions that we know and love from those binaries and relays them to runit to get the behaviour back.

An "eselect init" system should probably exist, so here's my take:

Code:
DESCRIPTION="Manage /sbin/init implementations"
VERSION="0.1"

SYMLINK_PATH=/sbin/init
SYMLINK_TARGETS=( sysvinit runit-init )
SYMLINK_DESCRIPTION='init process'
SYMLINK_CRUCIAL=1

inherit bin-symlink

do_set () {
   local base=${1%init}
   local files="init halt reboot poweroff shutdown"
   local link
   local target
   # we first check the sanity of everything before we actually make any modiications
   for link in $files; do
      target=$EROOT/sbin/$base$link
      link=$EROOT/sbin/$link
      [[ -e $link && ! -L $link ]] && die -q "$link exists but is not a symlink"
   done
   
   for link in $files; do
      target=$EROOT/sbin/$base$link
      link=$EROOT/sbin/$link
      ln -sf "$target" "$link" || die -q "Could not not link $link to $target"
   done
}

Right, so this is my implementation right now for anyone who's interested:

/etc/runit/1:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
# system one time tasks

set -u

PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/lib/rc/bin

openrc sysinit || {
   sulogin
   exit 100
   }

openrc boot || {
   sulogin
   exit 100
   }

for arg in $(cat /proc/cmdline); do
   case "$arg" in single)
      sulogin
      exit 100
      ;;
   esac
done

openrc runsvdir || {
   sulogin
   exit 100
   }


The obviously relevant part is the "runsvdir" runlevel. This contains three scripts:

/etc/runlevels/runsvdir/runit-files:
Code:
#!/sbin/openrc-run

description="make the files runit needs to shutdown and reboot the system"

start () {
   ebegin 'Creating stopit and reboot files'
   mkdir -p /run/runit &&
   touch /run/runit/stopit &&
   chmod 0 /run/runit/stopit &&
   touch /run/runit/reboot &&
   chmod 0 /run/runit/reboot
   eend $?
}


This one is used to create the stopit and reboot files, note that they live in "/run/runit" instead of "/etc/runit" and symlinked from there. This is to allow "/etc" to be on a read-only filesystem.

/etc/runlevels/runsvdir/runsvdir-runsupervise
Code:
#!/sbin/openrc-run

svcontainer=${svcontainer-/etc/sv}
runsupervise=${runsupervise-/run/sv/supervise}

depend () {
   keyword -shutdown
}

start() {
   ebegin "Making supervision directory $runsupervise"
   mkdir -p "$runsupervise"
   eend $?
}

stop() {
   ebegin "Removing supervision directory $runsupervise"
   rm -r "$runsupervise"
   eend $?
}


This simply creates a directory "/run/sv/supervise", this is because all the "/etc/sv/*/supervise" directories are symlinked to that directory, again, to keep /etc read-only if possible so /etc/sv/sshd/supervise is a symlink to /run/sv/supervise/sshd

And finally

/etc/runlevels/runsvdir/runsvdir-runlevel:
Code:
#!/sbin/openrc-run

description="set the runlevel runsvdir needs from the kernel command line"
SVDIR="${svdir-/run/svon}"
SVLEVELDIR=/etc/svlevels

start () {
   local level_ level=default arg
   einfo "Setting runsvdir runlevel based on kernel command line"
   for arg in $(cat /proc/cmdline); do
      case "$arg" in softlevel=?*)
         level="${arg#softlevel=}"
         if [ -d "$SVLEVELDIR/$level_" ]; then
            einfo "Setting runsvdir runlevel to $level_"
            level="$level_"
         else
            ewarn "runlevel $level_ does not exist"
         fi
         ;;
      esac
   done
   ln -s "$SVLEVELDIR/$level" "$SVDIR"
   return $?
}


Sets the runlevel which on my system lives in /etc/svlevels based on the kernel command line and defaults to /etc/svlevels/default if non provided. As you can see I do not use the common /var/service but /run/svon for a symlink to the currently active runlevel because I feel it should be in /run

/etc/runit/2 is simply a simple "exec runsvdir -P /run/svon"

I've currently completely embraced OpenRC for system one time tasks opposed to trying to run runit without it. runit-init is used as pid1. runsvdir for process supervision and OpenRC for booting the system.

Runit will not handhold you unlike those other systems. You're required to know how to think and do things for yourself if you go down this path; there are no prewritten init scripts. In a sense it's like Gentoo itself, a meta-init.

If you're asking if it's maintained to the same standards as the other two: williamh "owns" the ebuilds for all three in the main tree, so yes. Don't use that one unless you like reporting bugs and not getting replies for months.
