[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Planning new sysvinit debian release 2.86.ds1-5

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

I've commited a few fixes to svn, and plan a new release.  This is the
current changelog:

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-5) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  [Petter Reinholdtsen]
  * Make sure init.d/bootmisc.sh depend on hostname, as it uses the
    host name when generating motd.
  * Improve update-rc.d(8) manual page, documenting how to remove
    services and how to make sure services are not started.  Patch
    from Peter Valdemar Mørch.
  * Add sysv-rc-conf(8) to the SEE ALSO section of update-rc.d(8).
  * Add suggest to bum for sysv-rc.  Also added bum(8) to the SEE ALSO
    section of update-rc.d(8). (Closes: #332823)
  * Get update-rc.d to understand symlinks to /etc/init.d/ as well as
    symlinks to ../init.d/. (Closes: #338666)
  * Adjust and clean up init.d dependecy information.
  * Added 90_shutdown_H.dpatch to make sure shutdown flags -P and -H
    require the -h flag, and document this in the manual page.
    (Closes: #331041)
  * Added 71_wall_hostname.dpatch to include hostname in wall message
    from halt.  (Closes: #325772)
  * Add comment in freshly installed /etc/default/rcS mentioning its
    origin. (Closes: #336873)
  * Revert fix for bug #295335, as the manual page patch is reported
    to be incorrect.  Commented out 10_doc_lastb.dpatch from patches/00list.
  * Improve argument handling for init.d scripts.  Based on patch from
    Enrico Zini.
  * On FreeBSD, set TERM=cons25 in init as the kernel isn't setting
    TERM.  Patch from Robert Millan.  (Closes: #335023)

Anyone have pending changes planned for the next release?  Any
comments on the patches already submitted to BTS?  I'm not sure about
all of them. :)
