I do not know of a need to have the default shell be a build-time
configurable setting. All *nix systems I am aware of have /bin/sh as a
default posix compatible shell.
If some systems running OpenRC do not make that assumption about
/bin/sh, I will consider bringing this back, so feel free to open an
issue.
openrc-init.c and openrc-shutdown.c are based on code which was written by
James Hammons <jlhamm@acm.org>, so I would like to publically
thank him for his work.
In the past, OpenRC was a hybrid of a centralized and file-scope
license/copyright structure.
I followed the instructions from the Software Freedom Law Center [1] to
convert to a Centralized structure where possible, for easier future
maintenance.

When bash is used in posix mode for the shell, the ulimit command uses
a block size of 512 bytes for the -c and -f options.

The original way of doing this allowed users to change the supervisor in
conf.d/*. This changes this so that the supervisor setup can be done in
the service script itself.
I would like to thank Aaron Ten Clay <aarontc@aarontc.com> for pointing
this out; this is based on a patch he submitted.

This avoids situations in which fuser hangs because of open files on
remote file systems when the remote system goes down.
I have also passed this bug on to the maintainers of psmisc since it
should really be fixed in fuser.

This reworks cgroups support so we have one variable in rc.conf for each
controller instead of each setting.
Also we add support for all of the possible cgroup controllers.
I would like to thank Alexander Vershilov for his help with testing and
reworking this code.
This commit was modified by William Hubbs as follows:
- The paths in the cgroup fs were put into variables to ease
maintenance.
- Documentation was added to rc.conf.Linux.
- The services were added originally to openrc/svcname cgroups under the
controller cgroups, but this left an "openrc" cgroup which was unused.
Now they are added to individual cgroups with the name openrc_${RC_SVCNAME}.
The original documentation for these variables did not give an example
of what to do if the service had a name that had illegal characters in
it, so this commit adds an example. There was no bug report; this was
suggested by Tobias Klausmann.
Currently, cgroups are still in development, so we are not setting them
up by default. However, this default will be changed in the future.
This commit message and patch were updated by

rc_parallel has never been considered a stable feature of openrc. To
that end, I am removing the documentation for this feature from
rc.conf.
It is still available, but bugs against it are not considered stable
blockers, and it should only be used currently by developers and users
who are willing to test the feature.

Openrc will create a cgroup hierarchy called openrc which will have all
services it starts and all subsystems attached to it. If you need other
groups/hierarchies, please use libcgroup.
