[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Dropping CONCURRENCY and tmpfs defaults

[Roger Leigh]

CONCURRENCY is now a stable tested feature.  Is it realistic
to remove this for wheezy?

We could
- Just remove the option to set it in rcS, and retain the
  existing fallbacks for non-insserv-enabled systems, or
- Remove everything and strictly require insserv.
I guess this depends upon how many systems are still out there
using the fallbacks.  Would it be possible to abort install in
the preinst if we encounter such a system for the latter
option?  In git, I've gone with the safe former option, but
could do the latter if that's acceptable.


tmpfs
Recently a number of bug reports have surfaced regarding running
out of space on /tmp.  I think we do an OK job with the existing
/run and /run/lock defaults, but we can probably do better with
/tmp.  Another issue was leaving files hidden on the original
/tmp.  I'd like to propose:
- moving mounting of /tmp from kernel to after checkroot but
  before mountall.
- merging this with the existing overflowtmp logic, which should
  probably be using the same defaults
- cleaning /tmp before mounting the tmpfs (using the existing
  bootclean logic).  We just move it to before mountall.
Does this sound OK?

Roger
