Hi, During a discussion on -devel between Joey Schulze, Miquel van Smoorenburg and myself on the difficulties of adding new shutdown scripts to /etc/rc0.d, I suggested (slightly jokingly) that debian may need a policy of number ranges within the startup/shutdown script sequence managed by update-rc.d.
Not yet having been flamed for such a suggestion, I'm now formally raising the issue for discussion. My personal opinion is that update-rc.d should be smart enough to rename the startup scripts *as long as* it maintains their current order, which is all that's important anyway. However, others make think that too much effort/control/whatever, so I'm open to other suggestions. An alternative would be to set aside a range (say K80-K99 & S00-S19) for system use and require packages with start & shutdown requirements to exist elsewhere. Please leave me in the CC list as I'm not subscribed to -devel. -- Stephen --- all coders are created equal; that they are endowed with certain unalienable rights, of these are beer, net connectivity, and the pursuit of bugfixes... - Gregory R Block -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
