openRC user services

[Matthias Geiger]

Hi all,

as you might know, openRC 0.68 gained support for user services.
This is a huge improvement IMO, and I would like to get wider adoption 
of openRC. Because this is fairly new, not much services have been 
written. An example can be seen here: [0]
I'd plan to collect of list of user services and then test them under 
Debian with openRC. I'm unsure where to get them included. Most 
upstreams likely won't accept MRs for this :( .
I'd opt to try to get them included in the Debian packages, and if that 
is rejected too, create a openrc-user-services source package.
Those services expect XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to be set, and should be installed 
into /etc/user/init.d.
Would this work in a Debian context ?
Any thoughts /comments about this ?

best,

werdahias
