Package: anacron
Version: 2.3-18
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: [email protected]
Usertags: origin-ubuntu quantal ubuntu-patch
Hi Peter,
With the policy proposal for upstart in Debian gradually solidifying in bug
#591791, I thought it might be time to look at forwarding some upstart jobs
from Ubuntu into Debian while doing package merges for the quantal release.
Anacron happened to be first on my list, so here goes. :)
The attached patch adds an upstart job for anacron, which will be used in
preference over the init script when upstart is installed. Explanatory
changelog entry from the Ubuntu package:
* Add native upstart support.
* Don't bother with starting anacron on install, since it will be started
soon from cron or at boot.
There are several caveats here.
- If building with debhelper (<< 9.20120410), including with debhelper
8.0.0 in squeeze, the package will end up with a hard dependency on
upstart. That's probably not what you want; but I'm not sure if it's
worth adding a versioned build-dependency here. That probably depends on
whether you expect there to be backports of the package.
- invoke-rc.d needs a patch yet to make it actually look at the upstart job
instead of the init script (bug #671284). Since anacron is itself a
short-lived service, it's probably not fatal in this case to have an
unpatched invoke-rc.d; and the next upload of upstart to Debian will
certainly add a dependency on the patched sysvinit-utils. So it's up to
you if you'd like to wait and add an explicit dependency.
- The init_is_upstart helper function is not yet implemented by the
lsb-base package. This is even less impact than the previous issue; if
the function is not available, the init script will assume upstart is not
available and do the right thing anyway. So I don't think there's any
reason to wait for lsb-base.
Thanks for considering the patch.
