Package: pm-utils Version: 1.3.0-3 Severity: wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Might not have looked in the correct place, but I was unable to find any policy for the /usr/lib/pm-utils/*.d/ and /etc/pm/*.d/ directories. IMHO this is urgently needed. I just discovered that aiccu had added a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d which make the system hang for seconds on resume, unless you've got a working network. Totally unacceptable to me. A policy regulating runtimes for such scripts would be welcome. Looking at the other scripts installed in /etc/pm/sleep.d on my laptop, I was even more surprised to find that unattended-upgrades had installed a script which will make hibernate wait until a running unattended-upgrades job is finished. I can see how this will scale if any package installing cron jobs should do the same... A policy stating both what kind of actions are acceptable, and setting maximum delays, is obviously necessary. In addition, there seem to be a bit of confusion whether packages should add hooks to /etc/pm/ or /usr/lib/pm-utils/. Policy required here as well. I will of course report bugs against aiccu and unattended-upgrades as well. But the fact that they do implement such hooks demonstrates the need for clarification.
