Version 0.1.3 released. Fixes a bug using readdir and moves to a new noded list usage which fixes a few corner case bugs.
Version 0.1.2 released. Two bug fixes from DJ Lucas to fix handling of the Stop links.
Version 0.1.1 released. A quick release fixing the location of the LSB programs to the proper /usr/lib/lsb.
Version 0.1 released. This is the initial release. There appear to be bugs still in the Stop dependencies, but it is mostly working.
initd-tools is an implementation of the init script installation and removal programs in Linux Standard Base (LSB) 3.2 specification. This implementation targets a traditional System V initialization scheme populating /etc/rc*.d directories. It is designed to be a small implemenation using only the standard C libraries. Similar tools include chkconfig on Red Hat systems and insserv on SUSE systems, respectively.
All releases can be found in http://people.freedesktop.org/~dbn/initd-tools/releases/.
The initd-tool sources can cloned from the GIT repository:
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~dbn/initd-tools
To view the sources online, see the cgit page.

initd-tools should work with any libc on Linux systems using the System V initialization scheme.
The initd-tools package uses the GNU autotools, so compiling and installing should be as simple as running ./configure && make && make install. To conform to the LSB and FHS standards, the package should be configured as ./configure --prefix=/usr. This will install the install_initd and remove_initd programs in /usr/lib/lsb.
