Bug#746578: Revised call for votes (was libpam-systemd to flip dependencies - proposal)

2014-11-12 Thread Andreas Barth
* Ian Jackson (ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk) [141105 17:39]:
 I am calling for votes on the text below:
   Y (override, swap dependencies, requires 3:1)
   FD

I vote Y, FD (with the remark that Y doesn't make a decision on does
debian want to change the default on upgrades but just
libpam-systemd dependencies is not the appropriate mechanismn to do
it - the other question is not at the ctte, and I hope that we as
Debian manage to find a way to settle this question less painful then
some of the other things we currently have / had).

 For this I want to highlight that the systemd maintainers also
 consider this a bad idea [...]

 So the decision to swap the dependencies would only be to ensure that
 - if there is a broken dependency solver - systemd-sysv is never
 accidentially installed (and sysvinit replaced).

And that's exactly what this decision means, don't swap the init
system by accident. Nothing more but also nothing less. (I had a bit
of bad experience of people reading more in an statement than there
was in, that is why I wrote that. And I also fear that also the
systemd maintainers consider this a bad idea doesn't help too much in
avoiding that, at least at the moment.)

  I'll add that the ctte is rubber-stamping Ian's wording, when that went
  *so* well last time.

 I believe this issue is at least partly caused by the fact that the work
 of the tech ctte has, for the last two years or so, been effectively
 split between just two people: Ian is drafting resolutions, and Russ is
 discussing with involved parties to better understand the situations. As
 far as I can tell, the activity of the rest of the committee is
 restricted to voting and the occasional presence at the IRC meetings.

 In any case, as someone who has spent many long hours dealing with TC
 business over the past two years, I categorically reject this
 characterization that only two people are doing the work of the committee. 

I'm happy to hear that. I should have said that it /seems/ to be split
up mostly between Ian and Russ.

Best,
-Nikolaus

I just came off of a few months of not doing any TC work at all, not even
attending the meetings, and only managed to go to an hour meeting and do
some on-list discussion in the past month.  I've actually been one of the
least active members recently.
