Package: xfree86-driver-synaptics
Severity: wishlist
Version: 0.14.0-1
Tag: patch
current syndaemon lacks an init script for "automatic" manipulation
through runlevel for the user.
attached is the contribution of an init script based on the
skeleton debian init script.
as of current syndaemon version the daemon has no pidfile
the init scripts needs to be named differently than the
daemon itself or the init script gets killed on stop or
on restart.. i choose synaptics for the init script name,
as an user may easily find it.
the synaptics init script has an option string.
please review it for generic usage before inclusion.
in long term it would be cool to add an config file,
but that's another story ;)
you will need to call dh_installinit in rules
dh_installinit --name=synaptics
you may want to add start-up and stop links with update-rc.d
attached therefor a postinst, a prerm and a postrm.
but i guess that may be an overkill for now as the user
still needs X11 config manipulation before he gets a
usefull syndaemon.
hope that helps + best regards
