My current job is precisely to make sure s6-rc gets integrated into
Alpine and that there is an accessible UI for it. It would be nice if
the work could avoid being duplicated, and if Alpine devs were faced
with one unified proposal for multiple service managers rather than
several independent and uncoordinated initiatives.
So if you intend to make 66 an available service manager for Alpine,
I suggest you coordinate with me to see what features 66 provides and
how we can unify the interface as much as possible so that people can
switch between 66, s6-rc and OpenRC as painlessly as possible.
I'm not yet ready to work on the abstraction of the service manager
engine (my estimate is that I'll start it in something like September
or October): at the moment I'm working on a frontend for s6 commands.
But if you are drafting a declarative syntax for services, I am
interested in its design, so please keep me in the loop 🙂
