Hi,
Turning on a computer should be like turning on your television, with almost immediate response. :)
Kind of. Interestingly enogh, there are some TVs running Linux. :-) (e.g. sony.com/linux ; google for the model numbers -> bravia) We need to do an organized approach of bringing support for alternative inits to lenny. I've started a Wiki page to plan this, at http://wiki.debian.org/HackFests/Init In a first step, we need to get the maintainers and authors of the different init systems to write down their requirements (e.g. 'needs a script to check if a service is running', 'start script that doesn't fork into the background' etc.), then we can probably prepare a guide on how to write appropriate init scripts. Kind of like LSB does for sysvinit scripts, but for other init systems, and preferrably in a way that covers many init systems at the same time, to avoid duplicate work. Anyway, I'm interested in your ideas, so please share them with the list, document them in the wiki etc. - getting broad support for alternative init systems into debian will be quite some work, so we need to do that in a coordinated manner. best regards, Erich Schubert -- erich@(mucl.de|debian.org) -- GPG Key ID: 4B3A135C (o_ To understand recursion you first need to understand recursion. //\ Wo befreundete Wege zusammenlaufen, da sieht die ganze Welt für V_/_ eine Stunde wie eine Heimat aus. --- Herrmann Hesse _______________________________________________ initscripts-ng-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/initscripts-ng-devel
