Voidlinux install

[sdothum]

Just an FYI that i have installed this suite of dinit bootstrap services on a Voidlinux glibc machine which i have been running dinit on for a couple years.

Other than mapping my original core service names to their Chimera dinit equivalent, only the dev.sh script needed to be replaced for udev compatibility AND tmpfiles.sh reduced to a simple "exit 0" (i was not able to compile your "sd-tools" to create "sd-tmpfiles" on glibc.. perhaps a header file difference to systemd -- regardless, presumably irrelevant for Voidlinux).

This installation was done more as an exercise than anything (i have played with Chimera Linux -- and Artix -- and been following this repo as a matter of interest). dinit-chimera services are far more granular than the "runit" based dinit i had been using beforehand (basically, Void's runit core services loosely broken down and wrapped for dinit).

i plan to keep dinit-chimera -- considering it the standard -- and will report anything that comes up in future updates.

Thank you for sharing and all the work you have done on Chimera Linux (and Artix dinit).

(Feel free to "close" this non-issue :-)

what is "Artix dinit", the dinit project doesn't have anything to do with artix and i definitely haven't touched artix in any way

sd-tools can be compiled on glibc but it's been ages since i tried, patches welcome

[sdothum]

Sorry.. somehow i had the impression you had a hand/participation in the Artix Linux implementation of dinit. May have mixed up some other thread (git) discussions concerning dinit implementation.

i had looked at Artix and their dinit structure was very similar to Chimera Linux. My mistake in assuming you had a hand in it (i did not mean to infer that Artix was part of the dinit project).

The sd-tool compile failed on some declarations:

Not at all familiar enough with <sys/resource.h> and <bits/resource.h> to patch this.

[sdothum]

OK.. found it. Closer inspection revealed (at least for the Void glibc environment)..

tmpfiles.c missing:

#include <sys/resource.h>

copy.c missing:

#include <sys/syscall.h>
...
n = syscall(SYS_getdents, fd, buf, m); // changed from n = getdents(fd, buf, m);

NOTE: i'm unfamiliar with getdents but this compiles.

QUESTION: where is the source for /usr/libexec/dinit-devd referenced in dinit-chimera early/scripts/dev.sh to be found?

[sdothum]

UPDATE: despite being able to build sd-tmpfiles, it does prevent a successful boot. So i have retained early/scripts/tmpfiles.sh as a stub script (simply exit 0)
