[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] sysvinit-2.88dsf-14

[Roger Leigh]

Hi folks,

I'd like to upload the following to experimental, but wanted to
run it past you in case there was anything you were unhappy
with or which you would like changing.  I've attached a patch
for the proposed upload, and the changelog is below.  Any
comments would be appreciated.

The main two parts are the removal of /lib/init/rw and the
conversion of /etc/mtab to a symlink.

sysvinit (2.88dsf-14) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Kel Modderman ]
  * Add support for s390x, thanks to Aurelien Jarno <aurel32 at debian.org>.
    (Closes: #641107)

  [ Roger Leigh ]
  * debian/rules:
    - Add build-arch and -indep rules. (Closes: #648472)
    - Remove dpatch usage.
    - Use dh and debhelper compat level 9.
  * debian/control:
    - Add git version control information.
    - Upgrade to Standards-Version 3.9.2.
    - Add myself to Uploaders.
  * Use dpkg 3.0 (quilt) source format.  Rediffed
    debian/patches/40_multiarch_libcrypt.patch which was not well
    formed and failed to apply.
  * initscripts:
    - Make /etc/mtab a symlink to /proc/mounts. (Closes: #494001)
      Note that this is only done when the root filesystem is writable
      and /proc/mount is readable.
    - Support the ceph network filesystem. (Closes: #580579).  Thanks
      to Sage Weil.
    - Restore boot-time cleaning of /var/run and /var/lock, used by
      systems which currently do not use a tmpfs for /run.
    - Remove /lib/init/rw: Add Breaks for all packages which used
      /lib/init/rw, and which now use /run.  Unmount and remove
      following upgrade.
    - Don't create /run/.run-transition on upgrade, only on actually
      setting up a transitional bind mount.
    - Add Breaks on all packages previously using /lib/init/rw, in
      order to permit removal of /lib/init/rw.  It is not possible to
      remove prior to rebooting due to initscripts being required to
      be configured by the packages transitioning to /run.  Remove in
      wheezy+1.
    - Remove trailing period from the initscripts init script log
      message.  (Closes: #648881).  Thanks to Clint Byrum.
    - /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs: grep: character class syntax is
      [[:space:]], not [:space:]. (Closes: #631077, #645655).  Thanks to
      Milan Kocian and Jan-Benedict Glaw.  Also simplify function logic
      using a for loop rather than a while loop.  Thanks to Corey Hickey.
  * sysv-rc:
    - Remove splash support and use of removed /dev/.initramfs.
      (Closes: #643558).  Thanks to Michael Biebl.
