I need to investigate the effects update-rc.d has when it comes to activating runlevel switch into single mode and back on a running system. At the moment I am not convinced that insserv really is fully innocent in this matter, but that needs other verifications, not only on downtimed. A packaging 0.5-2 will not be ripe until I add some changes into the postinst script, and probably in the init script itself, but I must test this thoroughly first.

In my experience you can hint insserv by using X-Start-Before/Stop-After
if the usual dependencies do not seem to result in the order you hope to
get.

Yes, your explanation makes sense and I agree to get downtimed to be
started as early as possible. I was just hoping to avoid the override, I
guess you will try to address that a bit more, let me know if you do not
find a way to achieve that in proper LSB headers.

You are correct in my omission of a build dependency in dpkg-dev (>= 1.15.7),
but you are incorrect in the mechanisms invoked. I have used the explicit
make directive "export" in order to support "stable/squeeze". I have not
used the switch "--export" from "dpkg-buildflags". Thus version 1.15.7
is the correct level.

Both these are connected. Investigating this further, I observe incomplete
behaviour of "update-rc.d" caused by "insserv". The serious problem is that
I am not able to reactivate the service after a sejour into runlevel 1.
A rebuilt package with
Default-Start: S 2 3 4 5
Default-Stop: 0 1 6
is never restarted after
# init 1
# exit
and in addition "insserv" is never admitting the new starting links
in "/etc/rc{2,3,4,5}.d/S??downtimed". Ideas to resolve this? This
must be result in order to update the package properly, and to allow
"downtimed" to resume service after the administrator has temporarily
entered single-user mode. Had he gone into singel-user mode already
at boot time, then the mechanisms are already in place, but not from
within a running system. There is still an override needed to get "S"
as a runlevel for starting "downtimed". I want to keep this in order
to have the service detect a booted system at the earliest possible
time.
Best regards,
Mats E A

For the other Lintian tag you override I can see your point, but I personally wouldn't bother since you require $remote_fs in start anyway. If you want, that's fair enough. * Not sure about your rationale to override dh_installinit either. The whole point of LSB headers is to determine the dependencies out of them.

RFS: downtimed (updated package)
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor of the first update to "downtimed" since it got accepted. In fact, while the package was waiting in NEW, the upstream author brought a new release to the public. It builds a single binary package: downtimed - monitor of downtime, shutdown, and crashes The only changes concern two patches from me, which the upstream author has accepted, a misspelled DEP-5 header, and fine tuning of lintian overriding. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/downtimed - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/downtimed/downtimed_0.5-1.dsc Best regards, Mats Erik Andersson, DM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Maybe someone can push this into developers reference (or policy?) And there is also #601455, which IMO should just be used as a blocking bug for all the other against individual packages, which IMO don't implement it correctly. "invoke-rc.d $foo stop" should always work, even if disabled in /etc/default/foo - and if its not, its a bug in the package. General bugs or ranting usually doesnt really help much - except as reminder, ie in form of a blocking bug. :-) cheers, Holger signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

* [Tue, Feb 08, 2011 at 11:10:37PM +0100] Michael Biebl: I don't like those disable-service-via-etc-default files at all. Oh, and it also breaks 3rd party tools which use /etc/init.d/foo status to find out if a service is running or not. Because IMHO it's also wrongly implemented, at least most of the times (not referring specifically to this package, as I haven't taken a look at it). I mean: generally a conditional exit 0 is put at the start of the init script, but the etc-default-file option should only be honoured during starting of the service and only if the script is invoked via a S* link. Otherwise, the init script itself becomes useless so that not only status (if existent) is broken, but even start, stop, restart, and so on... update-rc.d is a much better alternative (optionally combined with a debconf question, if the maintainer thinks the service shouldn't normally run).

For one, there is absolutely no consistency, every package using that mechanism, names it differently. And there is already an interface to disable sysv init scripts from starting during boot, which is update-rc.d disable Third, if you disable a service via /etc/default/foo, it also makes it impossible to start the script manually via /etc/init.d/foo. So, just remove that option, it even makes your init script simpler, which is a good thing.
