When measuring the amount of packages in Debian/sid with dependency information for their init.d scripts today, I was very happy to discover that more than 2/3 of the packages in Sid now have dependency information included. Only one base package is missing it (libdevmapper1.02.1), and only three more packages included in the desktop profile (hotkey-setup, anacron and resolvconf).
I've used dependency based init.d sequencing in my sid chroot for more than half a year now, and it has worked just fine. To test it yourself, see the talk I gave at at Debconf, see <URL:https://penta.debconf.org/~joerg/events/21.en.html> for a recipe. The status for the dependency based boot sequencing is updated on the wiki page <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot>. There is a small bug in the insserv I use to reorder the boot sequence based on the dependency info. It does not properly order the shutdown/halt sequence. I welcome patches to solve it. :) Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
