Of course my scripts are far from being useful, but i tried to integrate openrc into systemd the way sysv is integrated.
We ended up with the conclusion that a drop in replacement it barely working an that we have to generate service files automatically.
But at that point, my holidays ended an i had to learn for exams.
The steps that have to be taken to generate the files are:
run depcache.sh on every file in /etc/runlevel
create targets for all "runlevels"
create service files from depcache output, pay attention to the "provides", they are kind of tricky in gentoo.
let all the services be wanted by the runlevel targets.

That shouldn't be such a big task, so feel free to try it on your own.

Regards.
