Hi!
Given lack of objections to my previus email, I made upload out
`afc866dc' as sysvinit=2.93-2.
Now, I see following agenda on next release:
* #910289 -- logsave issue. Since transfer of ownership (see bug) is going
to take some time, I propose to solve issue temporary with calling
`logsave' only if is availaible.
* #917139 -- block devices under /run. For now I prepared patch, that
add required special cases into /etc/init.d/umountfs. Not the most
principled solution, but given date of release and severity of issue,
I believe 80% solution is warranted here.
* #915051 -- obsolete conffile /etc/init.d/motd
Dear co-maintainers, you are welcome to take a look at commits, that
address issues above at branch wip/kaction/into-2.93-3.
Next comes issues, that I would like to address, but no patch prepared
yet. Suggestions welcome.
* Why bin:initscripts is arch:any? It does not seems to contain any
arch-dependent files (and given its name, should not). Related
question -- shouldn't /lib/init/* be /usr/share/init/*?
* What is the purpose of directory /var/lib/initscripts?
* #132542 -- move of /etc/init.d/{rc,rcS} out of /etc. After reading
fhs-3.0, bundled with Policy, I am still not sure, whether it should go
into /usr/share/sysvinit or /usr/libexec/sysvinit.
* Why /etc/rc.local is created in so elaborate way, and is not just a
conffile?
* Are there anybody around who knows, what is the state of code in
initscripts.postinst, related to Hurd (lines 167-191). It was last
touched at 2009; it is still needed?
* As Debian does not support jump-over-release upgrades, all checks for
upgrades since 2.88dsf-59 (oldstable) are redundant. Correct?
By the way, explicit stating that you do not have objections to proposed
changes is welcome. I want to make sure that changes are more-or-less
agreed upon, not just overlooked, while trying to address issues in
timely fashion.
