Maintained repository of runit, a cross-platform Unix init scheme with service supervision;
a replacement for sysvinit and other init schemes.
It runs on GNU/Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris, and can easily be adapted to other Unix operating systems. runit implements a simple three-stage concept.
- Stage 1 performs the system's one-time initialization tasks.
- Stage 2 starts the system's uptime services (via the runsvdir program).
- Stage 3 handles the tasks necessary to shutdown and halt or reboot.

NOTE: This repository was forked from a maintained version by Void Linux and incorporates patches that fix issues found by users as well as certain compiler warnings.
The source history was obtained from http://smarden.org/git/runit.git/, but the release tarballs have been pruned from this version.
