I didn't think you were. You've taken on a monster because everyone at this point has shifted at this point to systemd and Arch isn't exactly slow to update and is pretty vested in systemd. You're going to have a full-time job just patching updates let alone expanding capabilities. I do wish you luck and much patience.

Yes and No.

obarun use approximetaly 530 packages, on 530 packages only 18 packages need intervention and rebuild them. if you talk about KDE, yes it's a hard work. if you take xcfe, it's possible without much effords. depends....

However, may be one day a guys will find the projects interesting and he will go to help me. i'm on start of the projects, for the moment i'm alone but with the time the things will not stand like this.....

thanks for your interest :)

i like it, but if i don't find a compelling reason to run runit with arch, or a minimal slackware without trying reeeeal hardd, i probably will never touch it. i'm not pro system-d but slackware is not a lightweight alternative to building archlinux base with what you want, and it never will be. the thing is, it's not terrible. i'll run the demon as soon as it offers a nice uefi install, but untill then i'm on linux, and i've tried slack and arch, and made my choice. if bsd ever figures out how to make uefi work, i'll go freebsd. until then, it's archlinux and sure as hell not slackware and that's experience-based.

Believe it or not we don't all love or even like Slackware.

i'm not flaming, actually. i genuinely am not a fan, just because their base package is so huge. i don't even mind compiling my own software, but it's all gotta' be a giant convoluted mess because kiss.

edit: i do kinda' like their systemd gripe on principle, and like i said, i'd use maybe freebsd going forward if they ever fix their uefi installer. it's so sad how much it doesn't work right, but i won't base my opinion on that.

edit again: think maybe cursing might be frowned upon. the point of my post was, as integrated as system-d is, like... that's the giant gripe about it, why not work on some sort of alternative in the form of contributing to freebsd or some linux distro that doesn't offer it? i like arch but trying to jerk systemd off it seems like a waste of time. i'd literally rather waste my time drawing a phallus in zsh with the curses module.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/arc...s/arch-openrc/

Quote:

A custom arch ISO that lets the user install a fresh Arch linux starting with openrc instead of systemd. To do this during the installation the user runs: pacstrap -i /mnt base-openrc base base-devel This will install the minimum things necessary to start openrc when the system boots as well as the base arch linux system while avoiding systemd. Last step of the installation is to append the following repository to /etc/pacman.conf: [arch-openrc] SigLevel = PackageOptional Server = http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/archopenrc/$repo/$arch
