Please port openrc-sysvinit to optional dependencies. Because from version 0.25 openrc has its own initialization system "init=/usr/bin/openrc-init" and works fine without inittab and even parallel with systemd

Updated to 0.38.1 .

When booting with systemd/libsystemd 239.0-2 there are some problems on my system

Dbus takes a long time to start, avahi-daemon fails. Console login times out, login with autostarting X does wpork, but i also very slow. I'm ignoring systemd & libsystemd updates for now, while trying to figure out what's wrong.

If there are still people using this besides me, please post your results with systemd 239 & openrc .

added bash-completion files, they've been present in source for a long time already but no one seems to have noticed this package didn't install them.

updated to 0.35.5

Updated to 0.24 systemd-style tmpfiles support is now in a separate package, opentmpfiles .

Can you please add provides=(openrc-core=${pkgver}) ?

Please, go spread your FUD elsewhere, and don't use testing if you can't manage breakage. https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2015-October/027467.html

Lone_Wolf, i don't think that openrc is to blame for the segfaults. it's just that openrc and all init scripts i tried segfaulted with libc-2.22 being the culprit after my update. i just couldn't start my system or repair it for that matter. its also true that other packages were broken by the ncurses update but there is a difference if i just have to recompile some packages or if i have to start up a rescue system because my init is broken. since systemd TOO segfaulted after installing and only ld /lib/init showed a missing link for some library i had to reinstall before even systemd started up properly, its even more difficult to foresee if this wouldn't have happened either way.

eNTi , while i agree openrc on arch should get more attention, i'm not sure your libc segfaults have to do with openrc. Below are the glibc updates i had this year, none of them gave me any problems. Or am i looking at the wrong package ? If the first time "openrc was broken by an arch system update" refers to the ncurses6 update, that update broke many aur pacakges.

some arch update totally fucked up my openrc installation beyond repair. i got segfaults from libc-2.22 all over the place and was unable to do anything about it... this is the 2nd time openrc was broken by an arch system update. only this time i had to switch to systemd or i would have had to reinstall the whole system. this is bad and sad. i'm contemplating a switch to another distro. maybe gentoo, but openrc seems pretty much done for on arch. thx for the great work but i get the feeling openrc has been all but abandoned by apg and artoo at this point. i can't blame them. it's a constant uphill battle. if you are really leaving the battle field i'd suggest to reflect that in the rather oud dated and by now more than confusing wiki page.
