If you ask for my personal opinion I would say "I don't care, as
LSB is nothing one want to use, as the spec of 1.3 and 2.0 have many
points explained to detailled, while others are open like the heaven.",
but that's not your question.
From
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_2.0.0/LSB-Core/LSB-Core/command.html:
I would say yes: We don't have install_initd.
From
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_2.0.0/LSB-Core/LSB-Core/iniscrptact.html
they speak about init scripts, which we don't have with minit.
So: yes.
And further on:
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_2.0.0/LSB-Core/LSB-Core/initsrcinstrm.html
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_2.0.0/LSB-Core/LSB-Core/initscrcomconv.html
(one of the most senseles parts, as comments should never used to
control program execution. I don't know if they simply saw that they
need dependencies and put it in the first place they could find).
My answer is yes: minit breaks LSB, and that's a real advantage.
> what kind of performance benefits are we expecting here?
Booting up the system (Displaping login:) within 10 seconds
(start counting after kernel starts init) versus 30 or more seconds
with standard debian sysvinit.
> do many people use this system?.
no, it's yet to new. And most people won't, because there is a big
lack of documentation. That's why I wrote this Howto.
> i am curious about its orgins and usage
What do you mean with that?
Nico
P.S.: In the next half hour I'll release v0.2.2 of the Howto, which
answers your questions and has one correction.
