Issue #3461 has been updated by Michael DeHaan.
I've done it before with some good success but I undestand the reasons against. What's odd now is that Debian is the inconsistent one, when we have things for everything else. It also eases support of them in some ways if you look at the main repo as authorative and the other as essentially a snapshot. Anyway, I understand your qualms about not having two authorative sources and having to keep the code in both synchronized, though if doing a source install, documentation on /where/ to get those init scripts at least would be relevant. I think the easiest thing to do is adding instructions on that and putting a README file into the Debian dir. We can also add info there that these are non-authorative, but right now most folks don't know where to go to get those init scripts if they are trying out source. ---------------------------------------- Bug #3461: Debian init scripts not packaged in ext along with others http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3461 Author: Michael DeHaan Status: Needs design decision Priority: Low Assigned to: Nigel Kersten Category: installation Target version: Affected version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: When installing from source, I'd like it if setup.rb installed init scripts for me, possibly as an option, or otherwise they were at least there for me to copy. SuSE, RedHat, gentoo, etc all seem to be in tree, but there are no Debian examples. This makes a source install a little more difficult on that platform as I have to furnish my own init scripts.
