Bug#499486: debhelper: dh_installinit should be able to use upstream's init file

2009-01-09 Thread Arnaud Quette
seconded!

powerman provides a sane LSB init script too, and I would prefer to use it
without a gross hack.
ITP underway: http://bugs.debian.org/506903

thanks to consider this feature,
Arnaud

Bug#499486: debhelper: dh_installinit should be able to use upstream's init file

2008-09-18 Thread Rogério Brito
Package: debhelper
Version: 7.0.17
Severity: wishlist

Hi, Joey.

I'm packaging a program that upstream (me) has provided an LSB-ized,
sane init script, but dh_installinit only seems to care about init
scripts that are in the debian/ directory.

Is there any way to inform dh_installinit to use a file that is not
under the debian/ directory?

This would avoid dirty hacks like hardlinking the initscript into
debian/ on the build: target and removing them on the clean target..

Please, do consider this feature request.


Regards, Rogério Brito.
