Re: Bug#668001: please help test proposed patch for bug#668001
Jonas Smedegaard d...@jones.dk (2014-11-25): August 8th, Debian began supporting¹ choice among several init systems. August 21st, Debian changed² default init. To me, flexibility is an important feature of Debian. I am excited that Debian extends its flexibility to cover several init systems. Others agree, apparently³: Among those testing our system while this new flexibility is in place, ~20% use a non-default init system. For fresh installs, picking a non-default init requires a workaround: First install default init system, then replace with your own choice. Remember to also check for and purge any cruft pulled in by that detour. October 17th a fix was proposed at https://bugs.debian.org/668001#20. @Testers of Debian: Please test debootstrap with that patch applied and report your experiences, good and bad, to 668...@bugs.debian.org. @Debian-installer team: Please reconsider applying that patch. If not targeted Jessie then in another suite: Any degree of adoption eases ability to test, which in turn eases ability to adopt further. I'm not sure why people seem to believe that broadcasting a call for tests through their blog, Planet Debian, various Debian mailing lists, etc. is going to change anything here. I've already mentioned that having debootstrap stop pulling an init system might make sense at some point. In the meanwhile, debootstrap is not going to receive any patching in the dependency resolving area.

I believe that the only time I mentioned Jessie in this thread (till now) was in a sentence where I explicitly propose to *not* target that suite if needed to move forward with this bug. Because jessie is what matters now, then we can look at init-less debootstrap, and figure out whether this bug makes sense at all, and if it needs fixing. The only occurrence (I'm aware of) is in init context (forced sysvinit then forced systemd). Do you understand my question now? No. I've already mentioned that having debootstrap stop pulling an init system might make sense at some point.

I'm sorry you see mud throwing in my considering this a non-problem, I really don't follow you there either. What I call throwing mud is your introducing dislikes of systemd when that's not what the bug is about. That's very much not true, see above. (Heck, the title of the bug is even the opposite - stemming from the era past 4 months ago when systemd was not the default). Addressed above as well. Back to my question: Did I guess correctly that your this late in the release cycle in https://bugs.debian.org/668001#28 is what you mean by already mentioned? (Again, let me emphasize that I am talking about a bug, not a release and no specific init system). I do mean that, and mails to debian-boot@, and mails to debian-ctte@, and mails to debian-devel@, and mails to debian-private@. Pick your favourite. Just to be clear: Are you saying that the patch is perfect and just - as already more than adequately pointed out by you (except evidently still so for think-headed folks like me) - will not under any possible circumstances be touched _before_ Jessie is released, but _after_ the release will be applied as-is with no need for further testing nor discussion from your peer Debian developers or anyone else?

No, that's very relevant, again, see above. If so, then why not release it now for experimental? If because you are too busy releasing Debian, would you perhaps be ok with me doing so as an NMU?

You have made it quite clear that you do not believe putting more attention to this bug is going to change anything here. How then do _you_ propose to get it considered, reviewed, whatever? All mentioned in the first paragraph. I'll probably stop replying here since I feel like I'm repeating myself over and over and over and over again. Bottom lines: - debootstrap in jessie is not going to get changed WRT this bug. - and since you're not specifically interested in jessie, please don't touch debootstrap in unstable or experimental either; instead, let people figure out what to do with it after the jessie release.
