 runit (2.1.2-9.2) unstable; urgency=medium

   * non-maintainer upload
   * re-add /sbin/runit{,-init} to runit package so it remains possible to

On the other hand, the runit package on jessie does provide the binaries
/sbin/runit and /sbin/runit-init that can be given to the kernel command
line option init=/sbin/runit-init. The runit package on stretch does not
provide those binaries anymore. For those users the upgrade to stretch
will break.

I understand that runit as pid1 isn't supported in debian, fair enough,
but please at least package those few binaries along with the rest
(without replacing /sbin/init).

Cheers,

Ah, sorry for that. I thought that runit-init was already in
Jessie and didn't verify that. Please ignore that bug for the
Stretch release.

But it would still be nice if the Sid users didn't get a broken
system if they upgrade runit and reboot.

How would that break things for *jessie* users?

The runit-init package is not in jessie, and the runit package in jessie 
does not provide /sbin/init

Bug#864204: runit: Removal of runit-init removes /sbin/init breaking boot for runit users

[Simon Ruderich]

Package: runit
Version: 2.1.2-9.2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hello,

With the recent removal of runit-init in -9.1 /sbin/init is no
longer provided breaking the boot for users depending on runit as
init system. So a user happily running runit in Jessie will have
a system which no longer boots in Stretch.

I know runit as default init system is not supported but I see no
reason to break it for any current user who happily uses runit.
The recent fix in #861536 is not enough as /sbin/init is still
missing.

Regards
Simon
