I did already: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache show file-rc Package: file-rc Priority: extra Section: admin Installed-Size: 66 Maintainer: Roland Rosenfeld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: all Version: 0.6.3 Depends: sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) Conflicts: ash (<< 0.3.5-1) Filename: pool/main/f/file-rc/file-rc_0.6.3_all.deb Size: 22466 MD5sum: 3161893aa8057bf7d0602e3310c51b75 Description: Alternative boot mechanism using a single configuration file This package provides an alternative mechanism to boot the system, to shut it down and to change runlevels. The /etc/rc?.d/* links will be converted into one single configuration file /etc/runlevel.conf instead, which is easier to administrate than symlinks, and is also more flexible. . The package will automatically convert your existing symlinks into the file method on installation, and convert the file back into symlinks on removal. Both mechanisms are compatible through /etc/init.d/rc, /etc/init.d/rcS, /usr/sbin/update-rc.d, and /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d scripts. Furthermore, copyright says: This package was originally put together by Tom Lees <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, than taken over by Martin Schulze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and now by Roland Rosenfeld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, from sources obtained from a posting to debian-devel. In the future this package will be superceeded by r2d2 that can be found on ftp://ftp.guug.de/pub/members/truemper/r2d2/ The original package was written by Winfried Truemper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
