That isn’t true anymore. #426506 dates from before kdump-tools depended kexec-tools and makedumpfile recommended it. Those packages use /sbin/kexec “behind the scenes” in an unrelated way, but their installation currently has a confusing side effect on rebooting because there’s no way for a package to pull in /sbin/kexec without this side effect. If you think it’s important that users can install a package and get kexec reboots as an automatic side effect without additional configuration, consider splitting that configuration package out from the main kexec-tools package. (Finding the right split point might take some thought since, as Geoffrey noted, some packages may want the initscript without the default setting.) Personally though, I think editing a configuration file for this advanced behavior isn’t too much to ask. Anders -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
