Changelog
sysvinit (2.88dsf-42) unstable; urgency=low
[ Roger Leigh ]
* Introduce jessie changes from 2.88dsf-41+jessie1 to unstable.
* Correct the Breaks on bootchart to ensure that all broken
versions are removed on upgrade (Closes: #694252). Break
bootchart << 0.10~svn407-4 to ensure that 0.10~svn407-3.3
and earlier are removed.
* Clean up legacy migration logic in maintainer scripts and init
scripts for /run, /lib/init/rw, /etc/mtab, /etc/motd.
* Don't generate debian/copyright; include missing bits of
COPYRIGHT directly.
* Upgrade to Standards-Version 3.9.4 (no changes).
* Add lintian overrides for init script dependency warnings;
these don't apply to our scripts since they have special
dependency requirements.
* bootlogd: Ensure boot logs are flushed (Closes: #423528). Save
logs in /run/bootlog and copy to /var/log/boot at the end of the
boot sequence.
* sysv-rc:
- update-rc.d no longer supports non-dependency-based boot.
+ Remove non-insserv codepaths.
+ Warn if the start or stop actions are used.
+ Skip runlevel mismatch warnings if default action is used
(no arguments to validate).
+ Update manual page to remove start and stop actions, plus
manual setting of boot sequence ordering; note that start
and stop are no longer supported. Closes: #606505.
* initscripts:
- Remove static runlevels from update-rc.d calls in postinst.
- checkroot.sh skips fsck of btrfs filesystems. Thanks to Ben
Klein for this patch. Closes: #701956. Note that this is
intended to be a workaround until such time btrfs provides a
non-broken fsck.btrfs.
- Remove use of absolute program paths in postinst.
* bootlogd:
- Remove static runlevels from update-rc.d calls in postinst.
[ Pino Toscano ]
* Update inittab.gnu to the new path of Hurd's getty.
* mount-functions.sh: do not add "nodev" to the mount options also on Hurd,
as this option does not exist there.
[ Steve Langasek ]
* Kill pointless script-not-executable overrides for things that are not
scripts.
* /etc/default/rcS is a conffile; remove postinst code that attempts to
create it from a non-existent template.
* Relax the Breaks: on upstart for compatibility with Ubuntu.
* Don't duplicate the /etc/default/rcS conffile with a template in the
preinst; unmodified files should just be removed, and created
automatically by dpkg.
* Fix 'service $foo restart' implementation for upstart jobs.
* Update service(8) manpage to document the support for upstart jobs.
* debian/sysv-rc/sbin/invoke-rc.d: replace RUNLEVEL with RUNLEVELHELPER.
Using RUNLEVEL causes spurious failures when invoke-rc.d is invoked
with RUNLEVEL already defined in the environment (as it is e.g. during
bootup) since invoke-rc.d's RUNLEVEL will become an exported variable
at that point and cause /sbin/runlevel to return bad data. (LP: #619246)
Thanks to James Troup for the patch.
* Properly clean up bootlogd conffiles on upgrade using dpkg-maintscript,
instead of leaving them orphaned on the filesystem when the bootlogd
package is not installed.
* Drop maintainer script migration code for versions older than squeeze.
* Mark sysv-rc Multi-Arch: foreign, now that debhelper is generating
versioned dependencies on it, this is important for cross-installability
of packages providing services. Closes: #710304.
* Also mark initscripts Multi-Arch: foreign, for similar reasons. This is
probably less important, given that the number of packages affected is
small and the /run transition is already past, but it is still correct
in its own right so might as well be added. Closes: #677369.
[ Michael Biebl ]
* Redirect error output from 'initctl version', suppressing warnings when
upstart is installed but not running. Closes: #685779.
