Hello list! I've just subscribed to this mailing list since I'm ITPer of initng package. I read whole archives since July and seems you have very interesting ideas for new init mechanism in Debian. (especially remote dependencies seems to be great idea, and solution for real life situtations).
However all ideas seem to have long way before they'll be implemented, and this way we still have old init mechanism in Debian without easy way to test new solutions. I asked yesterday on my blog if someone would be interested in initng in experimental distribution, cause it seems it's mature enough to be widely tested, and I think experimental is right place for such things. There were some comments[1] from users which would be happy to see such package. After I filled my ITP I found that Armin Berres <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, maintains initng package too, and he will be probably a main maintainer, and I'll be a sponsor. Yesterday Martin Krafft asked me on irc to consult here first whatever actions I'm going to make. I personally think that having initng in experimental distribution won't conflict with the aims of this alioth project, and due to wider audience will help authors to catch up Debian specific issues sooner, thus make initng more fit for Debian in the future. In fact we've got already runit in unstable, so I see no reason to exclude another similar package especially in experimental distribution. If there won't be objections I'll upload Armin's package. Comments appreciated. regards fEnIo [1] - http://jabba.uaznia.net/fenio?sz=komentarze&c=7272 -- ,''`.
