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'm glad to see that he's now happy with this proposal. This proposal doesn't seem to include the change you made in git commit 227f496617929c48bfd20a9c96eead8b91ee69b7 to fix a typo I reported in item 4: Bum. Given that I had already formally made the change, I think my call for votes should be read as being a CFV on the revised version, notwithstanding that the resolution text was incorrectly stated in the CFV email. For the avoidance of any doubt: I am calling for votes on the text below: Y (override, swap dependencies, requires 3:1) FD Ian. (My previous vote of Y,FD stands.) === Rationale (Constitution 6.1(5)): 1. Currently libpam-systemd (which is pulled in by quite a few dependency chains) Depends on `systemd-sysv | systemd-shim (= 8-2)'. 2. The effect of this is that installing some packages which depend (directly or indirectly) on libpam-systemd can cause a user's init system to be switched to systemd, even on systems where a user has deliberately chosen not to use the default init system, and even when the switch is unnecessary. 3. Swappping the order of these dependencies would avoid that and has no harmful effect: 4. In particular, on systems that already have systemd-sysv installed, libpam-systemd will still not pull in systemd-shim, thus minimizing the risk of breakage on systemd systems. However, on systems that intentionally do not have systemd-sysv installed, the installation of libpam-systemd will then prefer to pull in systemd-shim and keep the installed init system rather than switching to systemd-sysv. Decision (Constitution 6.1(4)): 5. We therefore overrule the decision of the maintainer of libpam-systemd binary package. The Depends entry systemd-sysv | systemd-shim (= 8-2) should be replaced by systemd-shim (= 8-2) | systemd-sysv 6. For the avoidance of doubt, we do not intend to set this specific syntax in stone. For example, if in future libpam-systemd needs to depend on a later systemd-shim, or needs a versioned rather than unversioned dependency on systemd-sysv, that is fine and would not contradict our decision. Release (Constitution 6.1(5)): 7. Our advice is that this change should be in jessie. If necessary, this view should be conveyed to the Release Team, after the change is in unstable, by filing an unblock request in the usual way. === -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-ctte-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
