How to install systemd-sysv-generator

SysV init files can be run by systemd once they have been converted by the systemd-sysv-generator that exists in usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/.  Except that Arch doesn't include it in the systemd package.

You can see a list of the included generators here https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/systemd/ by searching for "system-generators".

Some context about SysV compatibility and the systemd-sysv-generator is here https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/233581/46012.

How can I obtain and install the systemd-sysv-generator?

You would need to rebuild  the systemd package with options set for sysvinit_path  and sysvrcnd_path.  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob … .build#L66
