Hi. I recently started looking at the debian boot sequence, and the possibility of speeding up the boot time. During this work, I came across the LSB init.d comment convention, <URL:http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_2.1.0/LSB-generic/LSB-generic/initscrcomconv.html>, standardizing how to specify init.d script dependencies. I also found the insserv program from SuSe, capable of updating the start and stop symlinks in /etc/rc#.d/ based on the dependency information. I patched the suse program slightly to get it working in Debian. It is available from <URL:http://developer.skolelinux.no/~pere/debian/insserv_1.00.8-0.0.pere.1_i386.deb>.
It would be really helpful if all the init.d scripts in Debian had dependency information. Are anyone in the debian-lsb subproject working on issues related to the init.d script handling? What are the current plans to make debian LSB 2 compilant in this regard? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
