Hi all, Thanks to some great work by James, there is now a test branch of upstart available that supports passing its state when re-execing - rather important when re-execing an init that does process supervising!
You can find the code here: https://code.launchpad.net/~upstart-devel/upstart/stateful-reexec Once landed, this will enable important functionality such as applying security updates without rebooting, being able to run upstart in an initramfs and pass state to the rootfs, and so on. In the meantime, feel free to try the branch out and provide feedback on any issues you find. You will need libjson-c 0.10 or later (available in Ubuntu quantal and Debian sid) to build this branch. I believe James is planning to set up a launchpad recipe build for the branch as well, which I'm sure he will post once it's available. Enjoy, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. Ubuntu Developer http://www.debian.org/ [email protected] [email protected]
