What do you mean? As discussed, I have been using scripts in the debian folder, not the ones in the upstream source tree, which are adapted for CentOS. > I like the concept of having a separate repository for service control > of a software title.

Upstream wont care much about sysv-rc script, since they use upstart. What we do in Debian is using SVN on Alioth, so it really is using a VCS, no problem with that. To me, having to upstream the Debian init script is just some added useless work with no benefits at all. Anyone who has a different opinion (and do not work on the package) shouldn't spend time discussing the issue in this list (this is pointless), and work on upstreaming the init scripts. I would really appreciate if someone did. This is just a mater of opening a bug in Launchpad I guess, and attaching the Debian init scripts.
