Upstart project is stable, and users/products may continue to use it as is. Out of major upstart users all of them have moved on. Commercial and security support for upstart will seize to be provided by canonical once the last Ubuntu release shipping upstart lapses. In practical terms it means: - for system init (pid 1) end of life / end of extended security maintainance of the 14.04 LTS expected in 2019/2020 timeframe - for user init (session init) end of life / end of extended security maintaince of the 16.04 LTS expected in 2021/2022 timeframe All products and users are encouraged to move to other init systems, either smaller/minimalistic init implementations or general purpose init systems like systemd. upstart has been removed from Ubuntu Artful, and thus will not be part of Ubuntu 17.10 or 18.04 LTS releases. upstart is also no longer available in Debian. -- Regards, Dimitri. -- upstart-devel mailing list upstart-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/upstart-devel
