[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#549539: sysvinit: General update after the debconf review process

Dear Debian maintainer,

On Saturday, September 12, 2009, I sent you a notification about the beginning of a review
action on debconf templates for sysvinit.

Then, I sent you a bug report with rewritten templates and announcing
the beginning of the second phase of this action: call for translation
updates.

Translators have been working hard and here is now the result of their efforts.

Please consider using it EVEN if you committed files to your
development tree as long as they were reported.

The attached tarball contains:

- debian/changelog with the list of changes
- debian/control with rewrites of packages' descriptions
- debian/<templates> with all the rewritten templates file(s)
- debian/po/*.po with all PO files (existing ones and new ones)

As said, please use *at least* the PO files as provided here,
preferrably over those sent by translators in their bug reports. All
of them have been checked and reformatted. In some cases, formatting
errors have been corrected.

The patch.rfr file contains a patch for the templates and control
file(s) alone.

Please note that this patch applies to the templates and control
file(s) of your package as of Saturday, September 12, 2009. If your package was updated
in the meantime, I may have updated my reference copy....but I also
may have missed that. This is indeed why I suggested you do not
modified such files while the review process was running,
remember..:-)

It is now safe to upload a new package version with these changes.

Please notify me of your intents with regards to this. 

There is of course no hurry to update your package but feel free to
contact me in case you would need sponsoring or any other action to
fix this.

-Description: Migrate legacy boot sequencing to dependency based sequencing?
- The boot system is prepared to migrate to dependency based sequencing.
- It is recommended to migrate for the following reasons:
- .
-  * the order of boot and shutdown is calculated dynamically, using
-    dependency information declared within each init.d script, which
-    ensures optimum and correct boot sequence for the set of installed
-    packages
-  * protection against problems introduced by new or upgraded packages
-    by preserving the boot sequence when problems are detected; the boot
-    sequence is only modified if it is safe to do so
-  * potential for further optimization by way of concurrent boot
-    methodology in order to increase boot efficiency
-  * fixes long standing issues with the legacy, static priority based
-    boot ordering.
- .
- This migration process is non-reversible. The legacy way of ordering
- boot scripts using static sequence numbers will be made obsolete by
- choosing to migrate.  Any boot sequence changes done locally will be
- lost and have to redone using dependencies.
- .
- See http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot for
- more information about dependency based boot sequencing. To
- reattempt the migration process run 'dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc'.
+_Description: Migrate legacy boot sequencing to dependency-based sequencing?
+ The boot system is prepared to migrate to dependency-based sequencing.
+ This is an irreversible step, but one that is recommended: it allows
+ the boot process to be optimized for speed and efficiency, and provides
+ a more resilient framework for development.
+ .
+ A full rationale is detailed in /usr/share/doc/sysvinit/README.Debian.gz.
+ If you choose not to migrate now, you can do so later by running
+ "dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc".
