I fixed this within cdebconf, forcing progress feedback after questions.

Upstream development for sysfsutils is still going, they have f.ex.
merged all patches Debian was carrying, plus several cleanup patch
series I've sent, and have done new upstream releases. As the current
maintainer in Debian I do not consider it obsolete, and would
encourage anyone to use it, in preference of having to manually parse
stuff from /sys.

Indeed.

So from my side, if you'd like to switch to something else, for
whatever reason, that's fine, but if you'd rather keep using libsysfs,
then that should also be fine.

Thanks,

Bug#992034: init choice in Debian installation instructions

2021-08-10 Thread Thorsten Glaser
Hi,

as the content for the release notes was suggested to be put into the
Wiki (instead?) anyway, how about, to lower translator burden, there
*will* be put a section about this into the installation guide, but one
that is mostly comprised of a link to the Wiki, with a short intro.

@Matthew: that’s most certainly an em dash there; normally, you render
an em dash as U+2014 surrounded by U+200A (hair space) on both sides
(some US-american publishers seem to omit the hair spaces; in Tₑχ/LᴬTᴇΧ
I personally realise them as ⅙em which may be slightly wider than the
hair spaces of some publishers but find this makes it easier to read).
Now I have no idea how this is best done in the sources for the Debian
installation guide…

bye,
//mirabilos
