It is a severity:important bug thus it might be reasonable to ask for a stable update in Debian -- otherwise, Devuan would need to patch it for ascii.

[DNG] Quagga only use systemd init scripts?
Hello, I noticed quagga 1.1.1-3+deb9u2 packages only have systemd config files in /lib/systemd/system, they come with no /etc/init.d sysv scripts. Is there something that can de done to have them in the .deb package files? Bugging the Debian maintainer perhaps? :-) Alessandro ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

In that case, you should use b43-fwcutter, which requires access to the Windows drivers of your card. There are several tutorials online, Just look for Broadcom b43 fwcutter plus your card model.

Re: [DNG] Switching to OpenRC, including respawn
One property of OpenRC is it has no facility to respawn a daemon when the old daemon crashes. Some folks like it this way, some don't, but it's a fact of OpenRC. Except... There are two ways to have OpenRC respawn. Way 1 is to run the daemon from /etc/inittab, with the "respawn" flag. Remember, OpenRC doesn't have its own PID1, and traditionally uses sysvinit's PID1. Way 2 is to have OpenRC run either runit or s6 from /etc/inittab with "respawn", and then to put all respawnable daemons in runit or s6. Running either runit or s6 *as a supervisor rather than an init* is dead-bang easy. Since about 2010 I've been doing something similar: I ran daemontools on top of sysvinit, and it always worked out great for me.
