More and more init.d scripts start to use the log_*_msg() functions from lsb-base, and find problems and issues with it. I want all scripts to use these functions, but for that to happen the transition need to be as painless as possible. As it currently is up to each maintainer to use the lsb-base functions, we want to make sure as many as possible want to use it.
The following bugs seem important in that regard to me: #320709: bashism in log_end_msg #327388: lsb-base: init.d output functions break when used in umountfs #327405: Bashism in pidofproc() #321963: make output format configurable I see that some of them are claimed to be fixed in experimental. Did someone forget to close the bugs? I just moved sysvinit to use these functions, and expect this to provoke more people to report bugs and wishlist requests related to the lsb-base functions. I also added init.d dependency info to the scripts, and hope this will inspire more developers to do the same. <URL:http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/lsb.html> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
