I realized I have here just what you need, or at least could use, to do that:
an OpenRC service definition and an execline script which execs into s6-svscan
and sets up s6-rc on top of it.
The execline script is a bit hacky (this loopwhilex should be replaced by a
proper tool waiting for s6-svscan readiness notification), so if anyone wants
to propose enhancements I’m all hears.
The OpenRC script is specifically written for my user, I guess you could make
it generic, I didn’t bother to do so. Feel free to adapt. The
xdg-runtime-dir-bezier-h service referenced in depend() is a service which
makes sure my user has an existing XDG_RUNTIME_DIR at startup (it usually is
created on login, but I want my services to be run during the boot sequence).
Both the execline script and the OpenRC service are based on Laurent’s
s6-svscan OpenRC service for Alpine Linux in which he claims that in the future
s6-svscan will be pid1 in Alpine. ;)
Enjoy,
Hoël
