Subject: [PROPOSAL] better initscript definition, and adding
'restart-if-running'

Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.5.2.0
Severity: wishlist
This proposal has ties to #76868 (invoke-rc.d), #60979 (what /etc/init.d/xxx
restart does?).
"Action" in the text below is the *first* parameter specified for an init
script (e.g.: in /etc/init.d/foo start, "start" is the action).
The naming for the new 'initscript action' was discussed in #76868, before
it was split from the main proposal of invoke-rc.d.
I propose that a new init script action, 'restart-if-running', defined as:
IFF daemon-is-running-NOW then
stop daemon
start daemon
return OK exit status if daemon started, otherwise return ERROR
else
return OK exit status
to be defined in policy, as *OPTIONAL*.
The main reason for such definition is that we currently lack the
functionality provided by 'restart-if-running', and it cannot be easily (as
in not in an error-prone way) emulated through other methods.
I'd also like us to better define init scripts, by making it forbidden to
have initscripts in Debian that:
1. Act in a non-expected way for any of the actions defined in policy
(e.g.: stopping a daemon in the 'start' action)
2. Misbehaves if given an unknown action
(e.g.: running the 'start' action regardless of what is passed to it as
the first argument -- we have some stuff in rcS.d that has this problem,
and yes, I am offering myself to hunt the offending parties down, fix
them, send patches to the BTS, and NMU if the maintainer is too busy
to apply the patch and upload).
This should be read as: the initscript should return an non-zero status
code if called with an unknown/unsupported action.

Changes:
debian-policy (3.5.9.0) unstable; urgency=low
.
Josip:
* Added missing bits of information about Description: fields from
the old Packaging manual, closes: #172022
* Fixed a stale reference to the "base system maintainer" to
base-passwd maintainer, closes: #174927
* Fixed an accidental change from /usr/share/package to /usr/share/doc in
the paragraph about not depending on /usr/share/doc/package,
closes: #174048
* Fixed several errors reported by Guenther Palfinger, with some help from
Richard Braakman, closes: #177205, #177206, #177207, #177208, #177209
* Added versions to links and docbook-xml source-dependencies, hopefully
fixes the bug with potato, and even if it doesn't, I don't care :)
closes: #103459
* Fixed typos in the debconf spec noticed by Jay Bonci, closes: #178455
* Clarified that using Build-Depends for build-dependencies is not a "may"
but a "should", added proper linking among various sections dealing with
the dependencies so that there is no confusion, closes: #87510
If any one of those poor, misguided people ;) still thinks that the
requirement should be a "must" (in _our_ meaning, not RFC "MUST"),
please file a new bug, as it's quite unproductive to have to sift
through a 152-page bug log which mostly goes back-and-forth with
explanations how policy should work, occasionally sprinkled with
offtopic stuff, too.
* When asked to restart a service that isn't already running, the init
script should start it, closes: #60979
* Rephrased section on configuration files to remove confusing use of
"should", closes: #170019
* Rearranged the shared library information properly, closes: #109166
This change also centralizes the info on how to ship static libraries
in one place (hopefully not too ambiguous), closes: #93975
* Allow examples to be placed in /usr/share/doc/package/ in packages
that are meant to provide examples, closes: #69864
* Removed several references to the Policy manual etc in the stuff
imported from old packaging manual, closes: #181923
* Fixed too greedy wildcard match in the logrotate example,
closes: #183544
