Has anyone considered the possibility of introducing upstart
to oe-core, perhaps as an alternative?<br>
<br>
How would people feel about patches to do that?<br>
<br>
I ask because "classic", (read, "former" and "proprietary"),
WebOS used upstart and we're considering whether to attempt to
continue to do so as we move to oe-core, or whether to attempt
to convert all of our components over. Either way, we have to
convert a bunch of service scripts. And if we're going to
convert a bunch of service scripts for oe-core components, (as
distinct from porting service scripts for Palm components),
then it would be much easier of those patches were to find
their way into oe-core rather than needing to be maintained
separately.<br>

<div>The support for Upstart would be welcome for sure however
we need to avoid the same mistakes we did in Systemd support;
I'd say it ought to start as a separate layer in meta-oe for
the beggining and after it has been properly polished we can
evaluate the possibility to merge it onto oe-core.</div>

At least in debian/ubuntu, the service scripts come with the
components that use them. I haven't looked deeply at oe-core in
this regard, but wouldn't doing this in a separate layer involve a
large number of append/overlay links to underlying components where
the linkages were extremely fragile?<br>
