Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-62
Severity: minor
Hi,
I usually boot my kernel with a "quiet" command line since I don't
want the system to spew screenfuls of init messages before the splash
screen takes over. This, as a - surprising - side effect causes
/lib/init/vars.sh to set the VERBOSE environment variable which in
turn causes an init script based on /etc/init.d/skeleton to totally
silence itself. This comes as a surprise.
IMO, the wish to have a noiseless system start does not include the
wish that an init script which may be invoked from the command line
days later does not give any feedback about its operation.
Please consider returning the skeleton init script to the behavior
that is common for init scripts, which is not honoring a VERBOSE
environment variable to switch off the log_foo calls.
Greetings
Marc

[ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
* Correct typo preventing sysv-rc error messages to be sent to stderr.
* Only override VERBOSE in /lib/init/vars.sh based on kernel
argument when called from /etc/init.d/rc (Closes: #505468).
* Only use /proc/cmdline to override VERBOSE setting during boot if
it is readable (Closes: #540008).
* Only send SIGUSR to init from init.d/mountall.sh when /dev/initctl
was created, to reduce the chance of confusing upstart (Related to
#569032).
* Make kernel argument parsing in /lib/init/vars.sh more robust to
avoid incorrect matches (Closes: #557648).
* Enable swap earlier in the boot, to avoid running out of memory
during fsck (Closes: #552029).
* Update upstream email address in the README to the current one.
