Upload every package every release cycle

2018-09-24 Thread Lars Wirzenius
Should we require each source package in Debian to be uploaded at least once per release cycle? Lintian[0] reports that there are currently over 7000 packages with an ancient Standards-Version. That's a lot of packages. Some of those haven't been uploaded in years. That means that the packages

init.d script dependencies for etch?

2005-04-01 Thread Lars Wirzenius
The traditional way of ordering init.d scripts is to have two-digit numbers for the symlinks in /etc/rc*d directories. It seems pretty clear to me that a dependency based scheme would work better here. Switching from one to the other could, I think, be done gradually, given sufficient magic and
