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.

Runit is now released on the core repository! You can now replace -busybox-init with runit-init. You can also replace the busybox runit -utilities with the actual runit. This will reduce the dependency on -busybox greatly.

Busybox update reqires manual intervention

- -

The new busybox package conflicts with the pre-update busybox-init. That’s why -you should rebuild and install busybox-init before doing the update.

- -

# Do a kiss update first (but don't actually update it yet), or manually pull the git repository
-$ kiss u  # Cancel this operation after it asks for you to confirm the update
-
-# Install the busybox-init package
-$ kiss b busybox-init && kiss i busybox-init
-
-# Continue your update as you normally would.
-$ kiss u
-

- -

I have moved runit and logging utilities from the busybox-init package to the busybox -package, which is the cause of these conflicts.
