I've had pending taking a peek at sysvinit upstream given the several
requests for help, and that I use it one some of my systems, including
GNU/Hurd and GNU/kFreeBSD ones.

Thanks for doing the conversion! I was preparing some cleanup commits
for things I spotted last time I looked, and it seems the conversion
might be missing some stuff?

The tag is not present in the master branch, but on a detached HEAD.
Also I had a Debian packaging repo laying around and it seems that
goes further (oldest commit 2004?) than this upstream conversion
(oldest commit 2009).

To get patches, do you prefer them coming over the mailing list?

Thanks,
Guillem
