We had a good drafting session on IRC. Here are the results. I hereby propose (and propose and do not accept amendments as necessary), so as to provide the following options:
DT systemd default in jessie, requiring specific init is allowed DL systemd default in jessie, requiring specific init NOT allowed UT upstart default in jessie, requiring specific init is allowed UL upstart default in jessie, requiring specific init NOT allowed OT openrc default in jessie, requiring specific init is allowed OL openrc default in jessie, requiring specific init NOT allowed VT sysvinit default in jessie, requiring specific init is allowed VL sysvinit default in jessie, requiring specific init NOT allowed GR project should decide via GR FD further discussion Each of these consists of the applicable sections from the resolution text below (which is in 727708_initsystem/draft-resolution.txt in git). We agreed that we would call for votes on Monday night (let's say, 18:00 UTC) unless any TC member objects. We will start voting sooner if everyone agrees that this is the good ballot text. Ian, Bdale, Andy, Don and Russ agreed on IRC that this was a good ballot. Steve, Colin, Keith: let us know, and perhaps we can start the vote sooner. Thanks, Ian. == version D (systemD) == The default init system for Linux architectures in jessie should be systemd. == version U (Upstart) == The default init system for Linux architectures in jessie should be upstart. == version O (Openrc) == The default init system for Linux architectures in jessie should be openrc. == version V (sysVinit) == The default init system for Linux architectures in jessie should be sysvinit (no change). == version GR (General Resolution) == The Technical Committee requests that the project decide the default init system for jessie by means of General Resolution. == dependencies rider version T (Tight coupling) == This decision is limited to selecting a default initsystem; we continue to welcome contributions of support for all init systems. Software may require a specific init system to be pid 1. However, where feasible, software should interoperate with all init systems; maintainers are encouraged to accept technically sound patches to enable interoperation, even if it results in degraded operation while running under the init system the patch enables interoperation with. == dependencies rider version L (Loose coupling) == This decision is limited to selecting a default initsystem; we continue to welcome contributions of support for all init systems. Software outside of an init system's implementation may not require a specific init system to be pid 1, although degraded operation is tolerable. Maintainers are encouraged to accept technically sound patches to enable improved interoperation with various init systems. == rider for all versions except GR == This decision is automatically vacated by any contrary General Resolution which passes by a simple majority. In that case the General Resolution takes effect and the whole of this TC resolution is to be taken as withdrawn by the TC, just as if the TC had explicitly withdrawn it by a subsequent TC resolution. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
