Note that you guys had a pretty good opportunity for sarge to be LSB
compliant, in the form of:
(p) Linux Standard Base
Packages must not conflict with requirements of the LSB,
v1.3. (eg, if you provide a library specified in the
LSB, you must be compatible with the LSB specification of
that library)
Basically, you should be LSB compatible. You can expect a bug
report to be filed if you're not, and if you don't know how to
fix the problem, you should email [email protected]
for assistance.
It's up to you guys to talk to the RM team about when that "v1.3" should
be bumped, and what to. (Obviously that's an RC bug if people are
incompatible with the LSB -- you still have to make sure all the
software the LSB requires is actually packaged)
Getting LSB compliance updates into stable after release is pretty hard;
we would've gotten woody r2 or so to be LSB 1.2 compliant if Joey were
comfortable accepting fairly minor changes to glibc and others.
Matt, sorry for ignoring your /msg's, I'll get back to you RSN, promise :)
Cheers,
aj
