For any holdouts still running SysV Init instead of systemd or other alternatives like OpenRC, SysV Init 3.16 is out as the first release in a half-year and bringing a few refinements.
Following the systemd 260 release days ago that did away with SysV service script support, SysV Init 3.16 is now available. It doesn’t see as much feature work as systemd but one improvement that some users will appreciate is the improved systemd to sysv unit-to-script conversion being now in better shape. That helps convert the systemd service files into SysV Init compatible scripts.
SysV Init 3.16 also brings clean-ups to its man pages, removing some debugging/status messages, documentation improvements, and removing some unused code from sulogin.
More details on SysV Init 3.16 for those interested via the project’s Codeberg.
