It is a preposterous argument, sysvinit scripts are the default in Debian and a simple init script would not get you bug reports. Being myself a maintainer of such packages in Debian, I am really amazed to read such a statement. >Didn't setting the initstyle of your vserver to 'plain' help? No, I do not want to run a vserver with plain initstyle, only because a random maintainer thinks sysvinit sucks. Moreover, one does not need a true init environment in a vserver by default, so it is not an acceptable workaround. [Skip OT about "the-sysvinit-sucks stuff"...] >There's no technical reason why a git-daemon-sysvinit package should be >build from the git-core source, so it should be possible to find someone >else who wants to do such package. And after all it'll be better; most Yes, there is. You do not create yet another source package only for an init script. It will probably never go through NEW for that reason. >probably I personally wouldn't agree with the implementation of the init >script, and service activation through /etc/default/, as submitted, as I >have different ideas on how it should work. It is not a matter of you agreeing or not, nor it is a matter of I not caring about other wannabe sysvinit implementations. The fact is that Debian *currently* uses sysvinit by default and it works *everywhere*, period. >The wish for an init script is recorded in http://bugs.debian.org/426731 >so I'm closing this report. No, you are not. I reopened and merged it instead, as I do not want this to go into oblivion. Cheers, -- .''`. Aurélien GÉRÔME : :' : `. `'` Free Software Developer `- Unix Sys & Net Admin
