== Description ==
runit-run is a package which replaces the SysV init scheme with one based on runit. (http://smarden.org/runit)
== Usage ==
This package creates two run levels by default, /etc/runit/runsvdir/runit-run-default and /etc/runit/runsvdir/archlinux-default. Upon install it will link /etc/runit/runsvdir/default to runit-run-default,
which will only start two getty's, tty2 and tty3. If you want the standard archlinux behavior, you are encouraged
to copy the archlinux-default directory to one of your own naming (perhaps by hostname). cp -a /etc/runit/runsvdir/archlinux-default/ /etc/runit/runsvdir/your_hostname
Then to try this runlevel, stop cron and syslog ng and
runsvchdir your_hostname
If all looks well, you can make this the new default runlevel with ln -sf /etc/runit/runsvdir/your_hostname /etc/runit/runsvdir/default
Runit does not restrict the number of runlevels you can have, any directory in /etc/runit/runsvdir/ can be used as
a runlevel, with runsvchdir <thedirectory> doing the changing. On boot whatever runlevel 'default' is linked to
will boot, unless you use a modified kernel command line, runit only cares about the very last word of the kernel
command line, if it matches a directory in /etc/runit/runsvdir, that runlevel will boot instead.
== Support ==
You can find Death_Syn or bougyman in #archlinux on freenode.
