Severity: wishlist

Please consider moving /dev/initctl to /run/initctl. Using /dev to store named
pipes is not portable and as a result a workaround to use /etc/.initctl on
GNU/kFreeBSD was introduced in 2004 (see #226939).
However, this option is far from ideal. It creates a disparity that might
confuse users. Using /etc for a FIFO is clearly not compliant with FHS. It
does also seem to confuse some programs (see e.g. #637151).
Now that /run is available, I think it'd simplify things if this FIFO node was
moved to that directory.

Changes:
sysvinit (2.88dsf-19) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Roger Leigh ]
* debian/control:
- initscripts adds versioned Breaks on autofs (<< 5) since
autofs 4.x does not cope with /etc/mtab symlinked to
/proc/mounts. Users should upgrade to autofs5, which works
correctly. (Closes: #653126)
- initscripts Breaks aide << 0.15.1-5 and sysklogd << 1.5-6.2 now
they support /run.
- sysvinit Pre-Depends on initscripts >= 2.88dsf-13.3 in order
to transition initctl to /run.
* sysvinit:
- /sbin/init control channel FIFO is /run/initctl rather than
/dev/initctl (Linux) or /etc/.initctl (FreeBSD). The postinst
migrates the running init to use the new control channel by
replacing the old channel with a symlink prior to issuing a
SIGUSR1 to cause init to reopen its control channel and then
exec of the new version of init using the new path. Thanks
to Robert Millan. (Closes: #638019)
- Add Catalan (ca) translation. Thanks to Innocent De Marchi.
(Closes: #622785)
* sysvinit-utils:
- Upgrade to startpar 0.58. Thanks to Dr. Werner Fink at SuSE for
this updated release. This release incorporates all of the
existing Debian patchset; debian/patches/7[1-9]* have now been
dropped.
* initscripts:
- mountall.sh recreates /run/initctl and sends SIGUSR1 to init
if needed.
- /etc/init.d/rc.local uses only $all in Required-Start;
$remote_fs and $syslog being redundant. Thanks to Regid Ichira.
(Closes: #635025)
- rcS.5 documents that RAMTMP defaults to yes for new
installations, and no for upgrades (since RAMTMP is not present
in /etc/default/rcS). (Closes: #652337)
- /etc/default/rcS is updated using ucf. (Closes: #648433)
- umountfs uses more sophisticated sed expression to compute
PROTECTED_MOUNTS, to support unionfs and more complex cases.
Thanks to Michele Mazzucchi for this patch. (Closes: #655582)
