For the moment I think it’s enough to default to Provide: own name. If we have cases where that’s needed, we’ll see. > Default-Start/Default-Stop would be interesting to other distributions > which actually use the run levels as defined by LSB (runlevel 1 - single > user - is used in Debian, and _perhaps_ but not necessarily we would > like to enable daemons to even run in single user mode). I don’t think daemons for runlevel 1 should use metainit − they are most likely too specific anyways. If other distros want to use metainit, we might want to add that functionality, but I’m still waiting for them to come :-) Thanks for your suggestions, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata _______________________________________________ initscripts-ng-devel mailing list initscripts-ng-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/initscripts-ng-devel
