FWIW, I have a proposal for a GSoC task this year to write a systemd-to-initscript converter, http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2012/Projects#SysV-init_file_creator_from_systemd_service_files The systemd service files are covered by the «interface guarantee», meaning they won't change incompatibly in a future release of systemd, so I think having that as the base format would be fairly reasonable, though probably just a subset so it's portable to other kernels and init systems. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
