Nice series! I think we want to support as many foreign (init, shell, …) distros as possible. You might want to consider fixing bug #41266. I also found out that daemonize is required on sysv systems.

Ah, nice, that shows that my testing rig is still missing cases, I only run everything directly as root (for which I pre-import the key), so the problem slipped through. Another one for the TODO list. > I also found out that daemonize is required on sysv systems. Yep, I've seen it, but forgot to add it to the TODO list, it's now. Thanks, this will end in a ~50-patches series ;-)
Hello, Here is a RFC series of patches that add a few things: - small fixes & cleanups - removing some (not all) bashisms - non-interactive mode (useful for (semi-) automated testing) - openrc init system support - runit init system support - busybox compatibility (for alpine support) - handle local guix-binary.${ARCH}.tar.xz file (useful for (semi-) automated testing) - requirements fixes It currently has been tested on a range of distros/arches but the latest patches are still not polished (missing proper commit messages) The series is RFC as a few questions remain for me: - Do we want to support alien (aka foreign++) distros (different shells, different init systems, etc...) - To what extent - Are the patches too fine-grained (I personally like them smallish) Future, additionnal work items: - s6 (adelie / obarun) init support - handle GPG downloading in non-interactive mode - being able to cross-build & test them on other arches again (dunno why it broke) - documentation - add missing guix-publish services - add missing RO remounting the store on other distros - removing allremaining bashisms (being shellcheck clean maybe ?) This is to gather input before investing too much time. For example, do we want to commit part of this now, with the rest coming later ? Any feedback ? On individual patch(es) or on the whole series goal... Thanks for reading this far.
