I don't think anybody is opposed to removing the flag, the question is how we should go about doing it. Roger Leigh has done some work on it already, but I don't think it's complete yet, so somebody needs to put in some more effort for it to be considered done. > In addition to that it would be nice if everyone could agree to not work > against a certain init implementation (for example by refusing to > include the startup file for that init when someone else has written one > and submited it as a wishlist bug). I don't think it's reasonable to ask maintainers to support init systems they don't know about and don't have any interest in. Maintainers should be free to include startup scripts for non-sysvinit inits, but it should not mandated they accept patches they can't meaningfully support. -- 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".
