Since Arch sets up /usr/sbin as just a symlink to /usr/bin, I think the right thing to do here is configure the build to use /usr/bin as the "sbindir:"

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD
index f8b7942..feb75d1 100644
--- a/PKGBUILD
+++ b/PKGBUILD
@@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ build() {
     CXXFLAGS="-std=c++11 $CXXFLAGS" \
     --platform=Linux \
     --bindir="/usr/bin" \
-    --sbindir="/usr/sbin/" \
+    --sbindir="/usr/bin/" \
     --shutdown-prefix="dinit-"
   make
 }

That way it builds and installs fine for me.

One of the updates since 0.20.0-1 broke installs, as the package tries to create /usr/sbin which is owned by the filesystem package. Upgrading from 0.20.0-1 fails with conflicts with files already installed by 0.20.0-1; uninstalling dinit and attempting to install 0.22.1-1 still fails when the package tries to create /usr/sbin.

dinit shouldn't try to own directories owned by filesystem.

@GrabbenD It's unsupported but there is an arch-based distro which provide alternative inits (such as dinit): https://artixlinux.org

Thanks a lot for this Does anyone know if there's any guidelines for installing Arch with dinit and blacklisting systemd?

Hi. @Relwi Why dont use shutdown-prefix? I think thats resolve conflict with systemd-sysvcompat. For more info check BUILD file in dinit project root. (https://github.com/davmac314/dinit/blob/e3b1c949f3afb4e610d64df0afc04a92cc9a7c23/BUILD#L69)

That means that it should not be on AUR then.

@micwoj92 right, it should be conflicted with the systemd-sysvcompat, because it's a init aiming to replace part of the systemd's functions. Arch Linux is systems-based Linux distribution, therefore, if you install this package, your system should be definitely a non-standard Arch Linux.

micwoj92 commented on 2022-08-08 19:00 (UTC)

This conflicting with "systemd-sysvcompat" is not right, because then you are using system without essential package (systemd-sysvcompat is a dependency of base package, which de facto defines standard Arch install).

see your email, I modify this PKGBUILD
