[Request] Initng

Initng, is meant to be a full replacement of the old and in many ways
deprecated sysvinit tool.

This package currently includes:

- initng: an application that will handle system & service control.
- ngc: an application for controlling initng
- initfiles/* Sample initfiles for handling system start up and shutdown.
- fixes/* experimental patches and fixes

Re: [Request] Initng

this flat out isn't going to work - it will require a change to every package which has a file in /etc/rc.d

edit: it appears initng provides init scripts, so this may not be the case.
I'm going to look into making a package for it... see the thread cactus referenced for more details
