5 runit is a process supervision suite with a focus on being usable as a sysvinit replacement.
6 It provides similar functionality to packages like <pkg>sys-apps/s6</pkg> and
7 <pkg>sys-process/daemontools</pkg>, and a compatibility/migration path for the latter.
8 As this package only provides an init and service manager, it still depends on
9 <pkg>sys-apps/openrc</pkg> for the rc layer inbetween.
11 This package installs the Void Linux fork of runit, which contains a few maintenance patches
12 on top of vanilla. By contrast, the package in the ::gentoo repository gives you Debian's
13 patchset which diverges significantly from the original.
