Then I shall contact Artoo and add the packages back to the AUR as Nous suggested. Though I don't see how a repository officially trusted by Manjaro is less trusted than the AUR. Nevertheless, I do like the AUR, and packages being there might help. Have a good day, João Miguel
Not long ago Artoo renamed his manjaro packages to openrc without any discusssion with apg or apg openrc users. It was after he was asked to remove his pakages from the AUR and after a discussion in the Manjaro forums
Before artoo packages can be put back in AUR, that naming conflict needs to be solved. FWIW, there are currently at least 13 packages in the AUR (found by searching and reading PKGBUILDs) from different people that install init scripts to /etc/init.d and not Apg's /etc/openrc/init.d.
Even if that naming conflict were resolved, the division in the small AL openrc community would continue to exist. I think the easiest way to unite efforts would be to forget /etc/openrc. I see that you want to avoid a conflict with initscripts, but if you installed to /etc as Artoo, you'd be closer to upstream (Gentoo). I'm ok with any directory, but I don't see the point in using /etc/openrc; who uses both initscripts-fork and openrc, except for testing purposes? Maybe you could change the default of that SYSCONFDIR variable to /etc, and have the rare users of both systems change it to /etc/openrc (they could get a warning in a post-install file or something like that).
Maybe the AL users wanting to remove systemd completely could investigate if switching from openrc artoo way to openrc apg way is possible ? I wouldn't put it off the chart, but note that users in Manjaro and those of systemd-free.org already have binaries for Artoo's way, so a middle ground between the ways, starting with identifying the differences and figuring which way is best for each of those, would be preferred IMHO.
