In this talk I will explore the process of improving openrc support in Debian. While the default init system for this distro is systemd, basic openrc support was already possible.
I will tell what I learned when improving the current state to a more polished experience, along with the current roadmap.
This talk gives a insight into my quest to improve the current state of openrc support in Debian, how init and openrc works in general, and what bugs I ran into. I will also talk a bit about the tools I used to test this, and the current state of things.
