Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist I request help with maintaining sysvinit -- traditional init system.
Sysvinit system consists following parts: * small C program, that implements /sbin/init (sysvinit-core) * shell scripts that perform basic system initialization (initscripts) * tool to sort initscrpts invocation order (insserv) * tool to start initscripts in parallel (startpar) Of these parts, initscripts are of most concern. There are huge number of bugs, some dating back to 2004. Many of them no longer relevant, many of them are wishlist, that were never discussed. I ask for help triaging these bugs: marking them as confirmed or unreproducible, requesting more info from submitter, leading discussion on conflicting wishlists. If you have skill and patience writing documentation, your help is also extremely valuable. During years initscripts accumulated number of configuration variable, files and so on, without having single, exhaustive and authoritative list of these options.
