Project:OpenRC

Project Description
OpenRC is a dependency based init system that works with the system provided init program, normally /sbin/init. It is not a replacement for /sbin/init. OpenRC is 100% compatible with Gentoo init scripts, which means you can probably find one for the daemons you want to start in the Gentoo Portage Tree. OpenRC, however, is not exclusively used by Gentoo Linux, so our goal is to be platform-agnostic.

Getting involved
The Gentoo OpenRC Project is open to all contributions. If you would like to get involved in the project, feel free to join us on #openrc or even #gentoo-base. We're also reachable via.
