Package: runit-init Version: 2.2.0-2 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: João Pedro Malhado <phlogis...@sapo.pt>, plore...@disroot.org
I received a private mail with a report about runit as init on Hurd, and it looks there are missing pieces [writing this bug as a reminder for myself] João, feel free to follow-up here if/when you have further infos. So it looks like Hurd kernel first runs /etc/hurd/runsystem script which is handled via alternatives; at the end the script exec /sbin/init. When sysvinit-core is installed, /etc/hurd/runsystem.sysv is used; on runit-init side, at least the following is needed: * install a /etc/hurd/runsystem.runit and update the alternatives (/etc/hurd/runsystem.sysv invokes init with parameters that are not ok for runit-init) * mount proc at boot: proc is not mounted automatically (as it is in linux); in sysvinit the mount is done inside the /etc/init.d/rc script, not used by runit-init * runit-init for now conflicts with sysvinit-core so either remove the conflic for Hurd or at least make sure that when runit-init is installed the alternative of sysvinit-core is removed; this may require cooperation of Hurd porters and/or sysvinit maintainers on getty-run side: * getty tty[n] uses the 'linux' parameter which is wrong for Hurd (no parameter at all seems ok) and maybe few other things -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.8.12-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN, TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: runit (via /run/runit.stopit) Versions of packages runit-init depends on: ii getty-run 2.2.0-2 ii initscripts 3.14-4 ii insserv 1.26.0-1 ii mount 2.40.4-5 ii runit 2.2.0-2 Versions of packages runit-init recommends: ii runit-services 0.9.0 runit-init suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
