Hi fellow sysvinit maintainers, in [1] we presented a transition plan to switch the default init system on Linux for jessie implementing the CTTE decision [2].
We slightly changed the role of the sysvinit package as currently available in jessie, as we want to provide different behaviour depending on whether the system is freshly installed or upgraded. The details and reasonings can be found at [1]. With the first step of the transition plan having been implemented in [3], I've proceeded and prepared an NMU for sysvinit to implement the changes for the sysvinit package. I've uploaded both versions for sid and experimental as 2.88dsf-53.3 and 2.88dsf-55.3 to DELAYED/3. Debdiffs for both versions are attached. If there are open questions, please let us know. Regards, Michael [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/07/msg00611.html [2] https://bugs.debian.org/727708 [3] https://packages.qa.debian.org/i/init-system-helpers/news/20140725T000006Z.html -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
