Talk:Comparison of init systems

Epoch supported?
Is epoch really supported officially or is it only available in portage tree? If it's not officially supported I'd suggest to put "Partially" (yellow box) on the support column. --Zucca (talk) 17:14, 25 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Honestly, I'm not sure what "supported" even means in this context. We don't guarantee that any particular package works with any particular service manager, and we don't turn away patches that add support either.  Maintainers can add packages with support for openrc, systemd, neither, or both.  Obviously openrc and systemd have the best overall support, which is probably more the result of their popularity than any kind of policy.  --Rich0 (talk) 17:24, 25 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Ah. Okay. Well. Supported in this context is the same as the package being found from offical portage tree. If it was any bit more offically supported then we'd have a profile created for it, I guess. I mark this talk as done. --Zucca (talk) 20:45, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Does runit belong on this page?
I am confused by the fact that runit is in the sys-process category (i.e., the package is ) and the fact it is called an init scheme instead of an init system. Despite this I've heard it being called an init system, for example, it is called the default init system of Void Linux. So I am here to ask does it belong in the table on this page?
