About upstart as default, my understanding is that (i) defunding upstart
development will likely make that question moot cause the Ubuntu
community is very probably not interested in putting up the work now
that everybody else switches, (ii) I saw statements from other technical
board members before Mark's announcement that dropping upstart as
default is likely, now that Debian is moving to systemd for the Linux
ports.

The more interesting question is whether upstart will be continued as a
community project and/or supported as an alternative in Debian/Ubuntu.
Not sure about that.

I am not sure which thread you are meaning, and in general, I think
discussing random Linux kernel config options on -ports is off-topic.

Maybe you sent the initial mail to the wrong list?

I can't reproduce it on asdfasdf right now, but as the code is in some
freebsd specific file and it clearly FTBFS on the buildds, I don't see
how it would hurt to apply this patch.  I have uploaded an NMU for this
to DELAYED/3-day, the debdiff is attached.


Cheers,

First off, debian-ports is not the right contact address for buildd
admins, there is no guarantee the buildd admins of a particular port are
subscribed, AFAIK.

Second, you need to get amiga-fdisk removed from packages-arch-specific
to have it built by the buildds, see
http://cvs.debian.org/srcdep/Packages-arch-specific?root=dak&view=markup
and the contact addresses at the top of that file.


cheers,

Michael
