a significantly different syntax, organization, dependency expression,...

for a simple example xend:

#!/sbin/runscript

depend() {
need net
before xendomains
}

The result of the duopoly that currently defines "competition" is that
prices and service suck. We're the world's leader in Internet
technology - except that we're not.

I don't think it is. Although I would not be surprised if one could
make it so far more easily than the standard sysV mechanisms

it's more civilized than many parts of the world like here in the states...

there is some but it's going to be difficult without externalizing the
core elements in another set of files.

someone will need to approve the message as I'm not subscribe to -devel
since I wasn't planning on being a developer. ;-)

As I said to somebody else who has a copy, they are bloody raw hunks of
code that still have a way to go before they can scab over and heal..

here is hoping attachments work over the mailing list

Does Gentoo have a parallelising init? Sounds civilised anyhow.

Is there any significant commonality with the existing scripts?

Could you please post them to the list (probably cc xen-devel also) so that we
can all have a look. There's a fair few people using Gentoo / Xen now, I
think. It'd be nice if they could be available online somewhere, maybe
checked into the BK repo.

Cheers,
Mark

The scripts can be run in parallel, but that option is not on by default.

It is. It's an option which is deactivated by default. See
/etc/conf.d/rc on a Gentoo Box, RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="yes/no".
