I've started a new init/rc system meant to be LSB compliant.
Unfortunately, I have a job that does not let me do such fun stuff :\,
so I won't be able to do much more on it for a while. As it stands,
nothing works :), but the idea is to put together perl modules to handle
init scripts -- mostly to be able to accomodate various rc types ala
file-rc or rc*.d links with a consistent interface.
you can fetch CVS from
CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@rcfile.org:/var/cvs
(empty password)
$ cvs co lsb_init
if you are interested in helping. I'll accept any patches, and
grant write perms to anyone who can deal with my foul code :P
