Description

utmp implementation with the goal of security, part of the s6 supervision suite. Provides support for, e.g, who and w on musl.

There is a demand for the package (https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues?q=utmps), but there are logistics issues. Namely, utmps depends on a superserver such as s6-ipcserver.

See https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/blob/3.19-stable/main/s6/APKBUILD for an example s6-ipcserver template, and see https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/tree/3.19-stable/main/utmps for an example utmps template. Note that Alpine uses OpenRC as its service manager.
