Package: fetchmail Version: 6.3.9~rc2-3 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Usertags: origin-ubuntu intrepid ubuntu-patch
Hi, For daemons that do not require clean shutdown to perform their operation, not explicitly stopping the daemon in runlevels 0 and 6, but letting sendsigs take care of stopping it, can speed-up the shutdown process. This has been used in Ubuntu for a while [1] but the policy has recently been changed to make it compatible with Debian [2]. The suitability of this approach for Debian has been discussed in [3]; I'm therefore forwarding to you this patch for you to consider if your package may benefit from this change too. Thanks, Cesare [1]https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Teardown [2]https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2008-June/000430.html [3]http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/07/msg00005.html
