-**IMPORTANT!** Carbs-init update to be released on 17th of February
-will require manual intervention. I am holding this update back so
-people can see it before they update their system (even though the
-update will show the same message as this). The rationale for the
-update is explained below the intervention.
-
- # There is an explanation for each init
- # You only need to follow the instructions
- # for your own init-system
-
- ## busybox-init
- # If you did not edit your inittab simply
- # move inittab.new to inittab
- -> mv /etc/inittab.new /etc/inittab
-
- # If you did edit your inittab you can use
- # a simple sed command to remove the necessary lines
- -> sed -i '/getty/d;/runsvdir/d' /etc/inittab
-
-
- ## runit
- # same as busybox-init, if you did not edit
- # /etc/runit/2 move 2.new to 2
- -> mv /etc/runit/2.new /etc/runit/2
-
- # else
- -> vim /etc/runit/2
- # open your 2 file and remove the for loop containing
- # getty commands. If you are using runit, it is recommended
- # to comment out /etc/init/runit.boot
-
- ## sinit/minit
- # If you did not edit your {sinit-,}launch-services.boot
- # you can simply remove it.
- -> rm -f /etc/init/launch-services.boot /etc/init/sinit-launch-services.boot
-
- # This should leave you without any issues, and you can safely reboot.

-Carbs-init update is to make sure init systems do not clash, and do
-not have to use different files. This is a sensible update both for
-the user user and for the maintainer side.
-
-To give an example, before this update busybox-init was managing getty
-through `inittab`, runit was managing through `/etc/runit/2`, and
-minit/sinit were launching from `/etc/init/launch-services.boot`. This
-is a configuration nightmare for everyone, and since I am maintaining
-and constantly testing those init providers, a huge nightmare for me.
-This is a Quality of Life update.
