Description:

/usr/lib/initcpio/init specifies init=/sbin/init.
This requires systemd-sysvcompat to be installed (an optional dependency) or the user to add init=/lib/systemd/systemd to their kernel cmdline. Why not just default it to /lib/systemd/systemd and let those who want to choose their init just specify it on the kernel cmdline?
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  /sbin/init is the canonical init, handed down to us from on high (the kernel).
Comment by Doug Newgard (Scimmia) - Saturday, 17 October 2015, 13:42 GMT
/sbin/init is the kernel's default, makes sense to me to keep it unless specified otherwise.
Comment by Dave Reisner (falconindy) - Saturday, 17 October 2015, 13:48 GMT
/sbin/init is the canonical init. mkinitcpio will not prescribe anything other than this.
