[[!meta title="Migrate Ubuntu to cinit"]]
|
|
|
|
I was thinking about which OS to support with
|
|
[[cinit|software/cinit]] next. I think that
|
|
[FreeBSD](http://www.FreeBSD.Org) and
|
|
[Ubuntu](http://www.ubuntu.com/) are very interesting
|
|
to support with cinit now.
|
|
|
|
So I decided to write migration scripts for Ubuntus
|
|
[upstart](http://upstart.ubuntu.com/) for the next version
|
|
of cinit.
|
|
|
|
Because it's a lot of work to migrate an existing init
|
|
system, I'm searching for friendly hackers, who help me
|
|
to get the migration script up and running:
|
|
|
|
The idea is to
|
|
|
|
* analyse current services
|
|
* create new cinit services
|
|
* clue everything together and bootup much faster
|
|
|
|
The script
|
|
[cinit-conf.migrate.upstart.ubuntu.jaunty](http://git.schottelius.org/?p=cLinux/cinit.git;a=blob;f=scripts/future-bin/cinit-conf.migrate.upstart.ubuntu.jaunty;hb=HEAD)
|
|
already contains a minimalistic analysis of Ubuntus upstart. What needs to be done is
|
|
|
|
* to read through the listed scripts inside ***cinit-conf.migrate.upstart.ubuntu.jaunty***
|
|
* and to create scripts to create new services in [cinit/bin](http://git.schottelius.org/?p=cLinux/cinit.git;a=tree;f=bin)
|
|
|
|
So if you want to help to support Ubuntu with cinit, you could
|
|
|
|
* analyse one init-script
|
|
* and create the service creators (like [cinit-conf.svc.mount.tmpfs.linux.ubuntu](http://git.schottelius.org/?p=cLinux/cinit.git;a=blob;f=bin/cinit-conf.svc.mount.tmpfs.linux.ubuntu))
|
|
|
|
If you are interested, please join the
|
|
[cinit mailinglist](http://l.schottelius.org/mailman/listinfo/cinit) and let us
|
|
know, on which script you hack.
