[gentoo-dev] USE FLAG for DJBs daemontools

[gentoo-dev] USE FLAG for DJBs daemontools

[Christian Wiese]

Hi everyone,

I'm a great fan of DJB's daemontools.
In my eyes it would be helpfull to have a USE FLAG for it, to automaticaly 
build packages with daemontools support if possible.

What do you think about it?

I was thinking just the same thing the other day when I emerged 
clockspeed and saw that the adjust pipe got created in /usr and that 
there it didn't depend on daemontools, set up supervise dirs for 
clockspeed, taiclockd, or an adjust service.

would we have to create an alternate set of init.d files for those 
packages that come with daemontools support only?

ie, i 'USE="-daemontools" emerge qmail' ... will i get gentoo-like 
rc-scripts in /etc/init.d ?

I think this would be great. I also thought about this.

It should probably be a virtual (I think portage supports this) thingy, since 
there are more DMD's.

See:

this way everybody can choose his favorite DMD. My vote  would be to call the 
USE flag "dmd"

Hi David,

I don't know if virtual packages are the right solution, because I'm fairly 
new to gentoo. Till know I've just scratched on the surface.
Perhaps somebody with more knowledge can help us?!?
The problems I see, are the differences in functionality and configurations 
between all the "DMD's", and how to figure out, which "DMD" is used by the 
system to install the right configuration and run scripts.
I just use daemontools at the moment, and I think this will not change the 
next time.
I've to take a closer look to the posibilities of virtual packages.
