I quickly scanned the etc files in my Gentoo chroot, and found some
openrc scripts for opentmpfiles. I volunteer to translate that one into
the form we can use, but currently I don't acquire the lock due to my
overflowing todo list. [1]
For opensysusers I suspect that Gentoo didn't package it as
$ emerge --search opensysusers
shows nothing.
Maybe we can also borrow something from the non-systemd variant of
Archlinux.
[1] Does anyone know if systemd-nspawn can (theoretically) boot a
non-systemd stage3 image? I tried to boot a gentoo+openrc image,
but it ended up stuck somewhere.
If this is doable, it will make my init script debugging and
testing process much much less painfull.
