Sounds more like a new developer. :)

Well, so far the only commit on github apart from the initial check-in is a change to the readme soliciting for donations via paypal or patreon. Colour me sceptical, but IMO that's a bad way to start.

Really? There is someone/something else other than Slackware which still use SYSV INIT? :D
Its retirement on github say: nope. |
The same Jesse Smith as from Distrowatch?

IIRC Slackware uses a blend of SysVinit and BSD init, right? Was it the previous maintainer or this new one that seems poised to launch OpenRC which is also a bit of a blend, no?

Slackware uses System V init - it just does so in a BSD *style*

Yes, but my comment was in context to the github repos that the OP linked: https://github.com/slicer69/sysvinit
edit: That repos now has this comment: Quote:
