Re: [luv-talk] How does this happen?

Anyhow, all I was basically saying that if I had to tweak custom runit (for example) plumbing for 22 local services, that would be no big deal for me.

i.e. to fully support a new init system on Debian, you need to write around a thousand services.

Well, above illustrates why I think otherwise. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not sure how.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. To support a basic server you might need 22 (you) or 89 (me) services. To support *every* package in Debian, you need about 1000 services.
