[needs-packaging] openrc

[Robert Millan]

OpenRC is a dependency based init system. It provides support for System V init, for booting, changing runlevels, starting and stopping services, and shutting down.

Originally written as a Gentoo project, OpenRC is 100% compatible with Gentoo init scripts. OpenRC, however, is not exclusively used by Gentoo Linux, and aims at being platform-agnostic, and supporting the old style init system historically available in Debian.

This package provides the runlevel change mechanism.

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

I wanted to check whether this had already been requested, and I found that openrc has actually been packaged and is available in Ubuntu 15.04 and later. :) See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openrc

If this looks ok, I believe this issue can be closed as Fix Released.

Oops, I thought I had checked. Sorry!
