[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#671284: support for upstart in invoke-rc.d

[Steve Langasek]

Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.88dsf-23
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi again,

The policy proposal currently on the table for integration of alternate init
systems also requires invoke-rc.d implementations to correctly handle native
jobs in preference over sysvinit scripts.  I'm attaching an implementation
herewith.

This is a more or less direct port to invoke-rc.d of the
/lib/init/upstart-job script that's been in use in Ubuntu for a couple of
years, providing LSB initscript-like semantics on top of the upstart
control interface.  I have also thoroughly tested this with an
upstart-enabled service and a non-upstart-enabled service, confirming that
invoke-rc.d still works with this change applied.

I'd be grateful to have this included in the 2.88dsf-24 upload.

Thanks,
