Would it be possible to port openrc-settingsd to run on Void/runit? #48911

void generally doesn't use
/etc/machine-info, but I guess it would work as-is.localed
void doesn't use
/etc/vconsole.confso this would not work as-is.timedated
I've been working on something for this, but it's not done.

GNOME and other desktop environments have graphical options to change the time zone, hostname, etc. They use dbus interfaces which are packaged with systemd (for example, changing the time zone relies on
org.freedesktop.timedate1). This means that by default, these options do not work on distros that do not use systemd, including Void.Gentoo and Alpine, which use OpenRC, are already using
openrc-settingsdto make these options work. Void uses runit, so it cannot use this service as-is, but I still wonder if it would be easy to port it.I know that these options can already be changed via the command-line, but it would be nice to implement this for users who prefer to change settings graphically.
