With our network topology (several independent administrative clusters), I do not think it can be setup (the problem would be administrative, not technical).

Your position about the acpid package seems quite correct to my point of view. But, in this case, if I were maintainer, I would check that there is another package that can provide the removed functionality. And (for example with a recommand), I would ensure that upgrade from etch to lenny occurs smoothly with respect to this feature. > But I have stopped > maintaining this package - feel free to implement *and maintain* the > package with Joey. I hope you react better when you receive bug reports in your other packages. All I can say is that I'm a bit disappointed by the way this bug is handled.

And no, I don't think that the acpid should provide any functionality that is not shipped by the upstream tarball. But I have stopped maintaining this package - feel free to implement *and maintain* the package with Joey.

Bug#444676: acpid: using the power button on server
Package: acpid Version: 1.0.6-3 Followup-For: Bug #444676 I just saw this bug. I can just tell as a user that last week, when all power as been abrutly cutoff for our building, I've been very pleased to just have to hit the power button of our servers to shut them down while the UPS provided us a little time to do so. We have about 50 machines and it was a lot easier to hit the power button than to log in on each (some does not have a console and their ethernet switch were not on the UPS...) So, for me, it is important that the default behaviour of the power button on standard install on server (ie without gnome or kde) is the cleanly shutdown the computer. I do not mind whether this fonctionnality is provided by this package or another, but this behaviour must be installed by default on any new install (or upgrade) Best regards, Vincent -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages acpid depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-5GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip acpid recommends no packages. -- debconf information: acpid/noacpi: acpid/modules: ac processor battery button fan thermal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
