Hi
I would like to adopt and maintain the 'sysvinit' package from Sergey Okhapkin.
o ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/people/miquels/sysvinit/ (Homepage)
o ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/people/miquels/sysvinit/sysvinit-2.86.tar.gz (Download location)
***** Important *****
This package contains /usr/bin/last (/usr/share/man/man1/last.1.gz) which
collide with the same named files from utils-linux-2.13.1-1. I would
recommend removing them from util-linux.
The cygwin version of last from sysvinit-2.86 lacks IPv6 support although the
official version supports it. IPv6 support will be enabled when we're
ready for it.
Here is the setup.hint file:
sdesc: "A System-V Init Clone"
ldesc: "Init is the parent of all processes. Its primary role is
to create processes from a script stored in the file
/etc/inittab (see inittab(5)). This file usually has
entries which cause init to spawn gettys on each line that
users can log in. It also controls autonomous processes
required by any particular system."
