The "runit" documentation on the web site seems to recommend to install the service directory below "/etc/runit", while the new "runit-services" (for Debian) installs them in "/etc/sv". Why the difference? Since not all services proposed by the package are necessarily going to be actually used on the system, wouldn't it be more appropriate not to locate them in "/etc"? E.g. many examples of scripts proposed by packages are below "/usr/share". Best regards, Gilles
