Ask Slashdot: Feature Requests For Epoch Init System 1.3.0?

New submitter Ben Dibell writes: My name is Subsentient. I maintain the Epoch Init System, a single-threaded init system for Linux designed to be easy to configure and customize, as well as staying out of your way.Epoch uses a numeric priority system to determine the boot order of objects, supports a wide range of customizability, and doesn't require much anything except libc and /bin/sh (though /bin/sh can be omitted, not recommended). Epoch also features advanced service status reporting features and has service supervision. I'm just here to ask the Slashdot community what they'd like to see in the next release, 1.3.0 "Fluoxetine", before I wrap it up. There are generally 2 things I can't consider:* Parallel service startup, because that can be done manually, and implementing it would make Epoch too complex IMHO.* Switching away from the numeric priority system to "true" dependencies. I implemented the priority system because I liked the freedom it gives the end user. Despite these omissions, your feedback matters to me. I want to make something everyone will want to use. -Subsentient
