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>
