Following discussions on debian-devel [1] [2], here is a patch that
implements fast shutdown for the dnsmasq daemon.

It basically avoids the init script to be called at system shutdown or
reboot, and instead rely on the processes being correctly terminated and
killed by the sendsigs script.

Hope this helps,



AFAICS that is the the only difference between the Ubuntu and Debian packages, is that still correct?

There's a theoretical worst-case that sees dnsmasq take 3.5 seconds to respond to SIGTERM. Is that likely to be a problem?

BTW, Thierry, I have a fix to

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/291186

which is in

http://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/test-releases/dnsmasq-2.47test1.tar.gz


Cheers,

Simon.
