- 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. -
