Comment (by bdubbs):
sysvinit (2.91) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
* Adjusted order of compile flags to make it easier for downstream
to adjust optimization level. Patch provided by Matias Fonzo.
Can now set optimization level in CFLAGS variable.
* Added --version command line flag to display current version info.
Updated manual page for init.8 to match.
* Version information is now fetched and defined by the Makefile.
No more need to update the version manually in the init.c source.
* The init process now writes the current runlevel to
/var/run/runlevel.
This information can be read by the "runlevel" command as well as
"halt"
and "reboot". Having the information logged in /var/run/runlevel as
well as the utmp file means systems without utmp (like those running
the musl C library) can still check the current runlevel. This is
useful when running halt/reboot as these programs want to check the
runlevel.
* Added patch from Walter Harms which allows pidof to run without
displaying output. In this mode pidof simply returns true or false
without displaying PID values.
Updated manual page with new -q (quiet) mode.
Added -h flag for pidof, which was recognized before, but not used.
The -h flag now displays brief usage information for pidof.
* Added check for kernel parameter init.autocon=1. If this exists,
then
init will try to open its own console. If not, then any console=
parameters will be ignored. This avoids conflicts with native kernel
created consoles.
