[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#584865: policyrcd-script-zg2: please consider some sort of integration also with /etc/init.d/rc

[Timo Juhani Lindfors]

Package: policyrcd-script-zg2
Version: 0.1-2
Severity: wishlist

[ X-Debbugs-Cc set to pkg-sysvinit-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org ]

I already asked this on IRC and basically understood that the
functionality would be nice but is not currently easy to
implement. Please correct me if I misunderstood your reply (I prefer
not to quote other people's IRC messages publicly without permission
so I'm only quoting mine):

< lindi-> Zugschlus: my /etc/policy-rc.d lookups
/etc/policy-{white,black}list.conf and logs decisions to syslog. this
works very nicely thanks to policyrcd-script-zg2. can you suggest a
way to make this also work for services that are started during boot?

< lindi-> Zugschlus: I see two options 1) divert update-rc.d with my
own version that will not add start links for blacklisted services 2)
modify /etc/init.d/rcS to use invoke-rc.d

If the feature is desiderable then I think we should have a bug to
track it. However, I am not sure if policyrcd-script-zg2 is the right
package so feel free to reassign as you see fit.

Maybe /etc/init.d/rc could be modified to use invoke-rc? Or maybe
policyrcd-script-zg2 could provide some additional hooks?
