Description William Hubbs gentoo-dev 2013-05-07 18:47:23 UTC 
The start-stop-daemon applet in busybox is not compatible with OpenRC
init scripts.

It is possible for a user to rebuild busybox to not include the applets;
however, I am wondering if we should do one of two things in gentoo.

1. One fix could be to disable the start-stop-daemon applet by default.

2. Another fix could be to make busybox's start-stop-daemon
compatible with OpenRC's.

What are your thoughts?

I'd like to do both if #2 is accepted upstream. Additionally, the section in saveconfig contains:
#
# Debian Utilities
#

so, building it by default seems a bit unnecessary anyway.
Comment 2 William Hubbs gentoo-dev 2013-12-03 22:15:35 UTC 
Since this is a Debian utility, I vote that we disable it in Gentoo's
default busybox configuration.
Comment 3 William Hubbs gentoo-dev 2015-02-06 05:59:49 UTC 
This is disabled by default in 1.23.1-r1.
