>I would like to package an example service for s6. Could you suggest one?

  tipidee would be a good one. I plan to release tipidee-0.4.0.0 very
soon
and have an Alpine package for it early next week, if you want to have
example scripts.


>So, is s6-rc a good candidate for rpm package? I am preparing to build s6-rc package in next few days.

  Having a s6-rc package won't hurt. I'm not sure it would be useful,
because there's no point in having an alternative service manager when
you
already have systemd, but it's not doing any harm.


>Thanks for your suggestion, when I see the content of utmp-prepare and utmp-init,
>I have the same question: will this conflict with the existing utmp/wtmp service?

  Yes, this will conflict. Anything that's in the utmps package is made
to
work with a utmps installation, not with a regular glibc utmp
installation.
On Fedora, utmp works with glibc as is, so you shouldn't add anything.
