• The Arch version of Vino from the snapshot used by Hyperbola comes with systemd support. Since Hyperbola follows the Init Freedom Campaign , systemd unit files removal is required.

pam_unix2 was removed from Debian Jessie because it’s buggy and unmaintained [0]

It’s included inside pam package and should be removed since it doesn’t comes from official source. Also the original upstream FTP directory (ftp://ftp.suse.com/people/kukuk/pam/pam_unix2) has disappeared.

$ pacman -Ql pam > pam_fileslist.txt

Description:

Use procps-ng's "sysctl" by default instead of inetutils's "hostname" for
hostname support.

Since [inetutils] is an extra dependency for openrc, it
contains insecure commands like: ftp/rcp/rlogin/rsh/talk/telnet
For security reasons, procps-ng should be the tool to handle hostname
configuration through hostname init script because is a base package.

Additional info:

Steps to reproduce:

Set and run hostname init script

Description:

Some init scrips are forced to load in certain runlevels by default (eg. boot) when 
OpenRC is upgraded. It isn't good for virtualization environments like chroot that
doesn't require it to work.

Those scripts are:
* /etc/init.d/dmesg
* /etc/init.d/hwclock
* /etc/init.d/keymaps
* /etc/init.d/killprocs
* /etc/init.d/local
* /etc/init.d/loopback
* /etc/init.d/modules
* /etc/init.d/mount-ro
* /etc/init.d/swap
* /etc/init.d/sysctl

Note: "/etc/init.d/dmesg" should be loaded in "boot" runlevel instead of "sysinit" one at the first installation time.

Note: "/etc/init.d/local" should be loaded in "sysinit" runlevel instead of "default" and "nonetwork" one at the first installation time.

Steps to reproduce:

Re-install and/or upgrade the OpenRC package.

Description:

Some init scrips are forced to load in certain runlevels by default (eg. boot) when 
OpenRC is upgraded. Also some of them are autoloaded by other init scripts.
It isn't good for virtualization environments like chroot that doesn't require it to
work.

These files need be removed:
* /etc/runlevels/boot/binfmt (optional)
* /etc/runlevels/boot/fsck (autoloaded from "root" init script)
* /etc/runlevels/boot/localmount (autoloaded from "bootmisc" init script)

Steps to reproduce:

• On boot.

Description:

Please remove "mtab", "modules-load" and "swclock" init scripts.

"mtab" is a deprecated and unmaintained init script,
because filesystem contains a mtab soft link.

"modules-load" init script, is a systemd compatibility configuration
to load the kernel modules from the "/etc/modules-load" configuration
directory.
This init script is useless, because the "modules" init script exists
and it's a duplicated feature.
If you need a module to load a module, just configure "/etc/conf.d/modules"
and start the "modules" init script or add a module in
the "/etc/mkinitcpio.conf" and run mkinitcpio -p $yourkernel

"swclock" is an useless init script, because is a service
setting the local clock based on last shutdown time.
If a machine doesn't support "/etc/rtc", then disable "clock_hctosys" and
"clock_systohc" from "/etc/conf.d/hwclock" with or without
NTP server/client. For chroot environments,"osclock" init script is the way.

Steps to reproduce:

Enable the unused init scripts

Description:

• OpenRC needs a minor fix (remount proc)

Additional info:

• openrc 0.28-19

openrc /usr/lib/rc/sh/init.sh

—

-        mount -n -t proc -o noexec,nosuid,nodev,gid=proc,hidepid=2 proc /proc
+        mount -n -t proc -o noexec,nosuid,nodev proc /proc
+        mount -n /proc -o remount,gid=26,hidepid=2

Steps to reproduce:

• Boot OpenRC in chroot with unshare

Description:

• Change the “/proc” filesystem option, reverting FS#1038 .

Additional info:

• openrc 0.28-17
