Actually, I have changed sysv-rc to accomodate more for file-rc, and those migrating from sysv-rc to file-rc will revert to the sequence numbers provided when update-rc.d was called. I do not plan to do anything more in sysv-rc, as I believe this is enough to let file-rc users keep the old behaviour. What that is said, I still believe file-rc need to move to dependency based boot sequencing, but leave it to the file-rc maintainers and users to spend time on it. I suspect the sequence numbers used when calling update-rc.d will slowly decay as it isn't used by default in Debian any more, and the package maintainers slowly discover that bugs in the boot script ordering that are trivial to fix with dependency based sequencing is very hard to fix using the old sequence number based system. But I believe this will happen independently from what effort I put into the topic, so I do not see the point of spending any time on it. :) Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
