init-ng, and Debian's initscript-ng projectinit-ng, and Debian's initscript-ng projectPosted Jul 27, 2005 4:46 UTC (Wed) by hmh (subscriber, #3838)Parent article: Boot Fedora Linux Faster (Improved Source)
Well, for what is it worth, there is a workgroup trying to do whatever is necessary to ship a dependency-based initscript subsystem integrated into Debian Etch or Etch+1. Those that would like to help design and write initscript-ng for Debian are welcome to drop by http://alioth.debian.org/projects/initscripts-ng/
There is also init-ng (http://initng.thinktux.net/index.php/Main_Page) which anyone interested into the whole next-generation initscript deal should get acquinted with. It is a really cool piece of software.

init-ng, and Debian's initscript-ng project Posted Jul 27, 2005 22:49 UTC (Wed) by jonabbey (subscriber, #2736) [Link] Anyone know if any Linux distros are taking up Apple's open sourcing of launchd? It, like Solaris 10's SMF, supports declarative dependency statements and can do dynamic optimization of launch ordering in a way that puts to shame the old SysV init scripts system.
init-ng, and Debian's initscript-ng project Posted Jul 28, 2005 23:55 UTC (Thu) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link] Gentoo init scripts have dependency information and cat start few things in parallel (but it's not default). There are some projects to make replace init with something better - nothing production-ready yet.
init-ng, and Debian's initscript-ng project Posted Jul 28, 2005 10:14 UTC (Thu) by peterhoeg (subscriber, #4944) [Link] I made a quick hack (one liner!!) to enable Debian to boot certain things in parallel and it really helped here.
Details are here:
init-ng, and Debian's initscript-ng project Posted Jul 28, 2005 16:47 UTC (Thu) by shane (subscriber, #3335) [Link] I've recently started helping hack on initng, and I think it has a lot ofpromise. I think it needs a *lot* of work before it is ready for prime-time though. Most of my recent work has been in the area of adding tests and making minor fixes to the code. Not fun, but necessary IMHO if a stable, maintainable piece of software is the goal. Having said that, people really do use it to boot their systems. :)
