Hi,

I submitted a new package to openSUSE:Factory: upstart. Mainly because
of https://features.opensuse.org/305690 - the biggest gain of having it
is clearly that everyone else has it, it doesn't get openSUSE a win right
away. But not having it, may become a disadventage shortly - who knows.

For now we will support sysvinit and upstart as alternatives, but my
preference would be not for long. The package I submitted is pretty much
only a start and adopting our scripts to upstart will be less of a pain
if we do not have to support alternatives.

Is it only me, or does upstart's init need 10 times more RAM than
sysvinit's init? Does not seem to be a good alternative...

I never said upstart is a 100% replacement of sysvinit. It has a completely
different feature set and we're not using many of it yet.

Greetings, Stephan
