I politely refuse. Either you (I mean all of bin:init maintainers)
/actively/ take part in debugging issue you consider blocker, or you
step aside and let me deal with incoming stream of bugs.

I remind you, that you do not have veto right. The very fact, that
`init' is meta-package, not virtual package, is technical solution, not
instrument of power for bin:init maintainers.

Sure. I will write draft summary of disagreement in a week or so into
this bug.

But until and unless CTTE overrules my decision, `runit-init' will be
installable without uninstalling essential packages, either as
pre-dependency of bin:init or as package, that provides `init'.

For the record, given Martin's latest review I'm not ok with this NMU
and I would kindly ask you to cancel the upload until it has been
figured why it is failing. I feel uncomfortable adding a package as a
supported alternative in this state.

It's clear that you are unhappy with the situation, so am I.
Maybe we should involve the CTTE and have them work out and define the
criteria and interfaces an alternative /sbin/init needs to provide and
what behaviour can be expected or not (and have an automated test suite
which tests all this).

Michael

Hereby I inform you, that I uploaded NMU into DELAYED/15. Feel free to
cancel it, providing rationale why it is not "reasonable".

Hi! Maybe you could export VM image or something like this?

I am worried: freeze is coming, and nothing is happening. I am not going
to miss another release.

Okay, let us debug.

 $ sudo vmdebootstrap --image debian-838480.img --size 15G --distribution sid

 Warning: The image may fail to boot with ext4 and extlinux unless
 vmdebootstrap is running on Jessie. Use grub or ext3 and see the docs.

 $ sudo chown $USER:$USER debian-838480.img

   VNC server running on ::1:5900
 ## Now I get on VM 'Booting from Hard Disk...', things do not move
 ## further.

I believe here I hit this warning. I do not have Jessie box. So let me
go another way. I will make fresh installation.

 $ qemu-img create -fqcow2 img/debian-838480.qcow2 15G

`dbus' starts slowly, otherwise things are fine.

After some stracing, I discovered that dbus was trying to recvmsg(1)
from /run/dbus/system_bus_socket. Resource was not available, so dbus
tried to poll with 90 sec timeout. After purging `systemd', this issue
with dbus is gone. I think somewhere `dbus' makes wrong assumption,

  `systemd' is installed => `systemd' is init system

So far, I still insist on adding `runit-init' into Pre-Depends of
`init'. I works for me, it works for bug reporters of src:runit, and it
would be great for it to have better visibility.

Not sure what "getty-run" is, but indeed I don't get a TTY. But I don't even
get that far. This is my current experience:

And from here on, nothing. I can't log in through sshd, and there's no VT

Admittedly I didn't do any RTFM, but IMHO this isn't a very friendly default
behaviour. You get locked out of your machine completely, only grub and init=
come to the rescue.

That does work now, at least immediately after installation. (Can't test on an
actual runit system). So, progress!

> Is there anything else needed for inclusion into init's pre-depends?

I wouldn't veto it, as the actual functionality for runit is not the
responsibility of the "init" metapackage. But I strongly recommend providing an
OOTB experience that gets a working system, before adding it as a pre-depends.
You should also ensure that this stays so by creating an autopkgtest that
installs runit, reboots, and makes sure that at least ssh and getty come up,
and runlevel is 2 (or 3, i. e. not S). This will ensure that this works on a
standard system, cover other architectures, and also prevent future
regressions.

Thank you!

Martin

Hello!

runit_2.1.2-9 in testing, and it:

 - Depends on getty-run, which means that user end up without tty
 - Provides `shutdown' and `reboot' scripts, which were tested via
   'fbpanel' buttons. Works correctly.

Is there anything else needed for inclusion into init's pre-depends?
