sysvinit 2.86.ds1-56ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-56ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian unstable (first time since Dapper!). Debian adopted most
    of our changes, sometimes with slight modifications. Adopt to the Debian
    structure as far as possible to minimize the delta. Remaining changes:
    - Support Cell processor:
      + debian/initscripts/postinst: Create spu system group and /spu mount
        point if we are running on a Cell processor.
      + debian/initscripts/etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh: Mount spufs if Cell
        processor is detected.
      + debian/control: Add initscripts dependency 'passwd' for groupadd.
      (Forwarded to Debian #483399)
    - Use tmpfs mounts for /var/lock and /var/run:
      + debian/initscripts/share/default.rcS: Enable RAMRUN and RAMLOCK by
        default.
      + debian/initscripts/postinst: Enable RAMRUN and RAMLOCK in
        /etc/default/rcS on upgrades. This needs to be kept until the next
        LTS.
      + debian/initscripts/etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh: Propagate files from the
        initramfs to our new /var/run, so that we can populate
        /var/run/sendsigs.omit from initramfs.
    - Different boot order: (to be checked if still required):
      + debian/initscripts/postinst: Change the rcS priorities of a bunch of
        init scripts.
      + Disable bootlogd, since it is handled by upstart in Ubuntu.
    - Usplash support:
      + debian/initscripts/etc/init.d/sendsigs: Call usplash_down on stop.
        (This should go away and get integrated into the existing splash API.)
    - Usplash fsck integration:
      + debian/initscripts/lib/init/usplash-fsck-functions.sh: Functions for
        reporting fsck progress in usplash.
      + debian/initscripts/etc/init.d/check{root,fs}.sh: Include
        usplash-fsck-functions.sh and use it if usplash is running.
    - debian/initscripts/etc/init.d/sendsigs: Always mount devpts, and do not
      touch /dev/ptmx (which is already managed by udev).
    - debian/initscripts/etc/init.d/checkroot.sh: If ACPI is available, load
      the ac module before checking the root filesystem, so that fsck can
      skip the check when running on battery. (LP #89752, forwarded to
      Debian #483394)
    - debian/initscripts/etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh: Drop mounting of usbdevfs
      (/proc/bus/usb), it was deprecated long ago. (Forwarded to Debian #483392)
    - debian/patches/91_sulogin_lockedpw.dpatch: Disable "root account is
      locked" warning, since this is the default in Ubuntu. Document this in
      sulogin.8.
    - debian/initscripts/etc/init.d/mountall.sh: Set $LANG from
      /etc/default/locale, so that ntfs-3g and friends can get correct file
      name encodings. (LP #132357, forwarded to Debian #483396)
    - debian/initscripts/etc/init.d/umountroot: mkdir a few essential
      directories (/proc, /sys, /var/{run,lock}), right before mounting root
      r/o. It is a convenient (and one of the very few possible) place to
      ensure that the next boot will succeed. (Forwarded to Debian #483393)
    - debian/initscripts/preinst: Fix typo in eliminate_conffile() which broke
      the entire function. (Forwarded to Debian #483391)
    - debian/control: Do not make sysvinit essential, so that we can replace
      it with upstart.
    - debian/sysv-rc/sbin/update-rc.d: Support 'multiuser' argument for
      backwards compatibility. This is deprecated now, since Debian adopted a
      different strategy, and for getting in sync with Debian the runlevels
      should be specified manually.
    - debian/control: Previous name for sysvinit-utils was 'sysvutils' in
      Ubuntu, so Conflict/Replace/Provide it. Also create a dummy sysvutils
      package, since Hardy has reverse versioned dependencies to it. This
      needs to be kept until after the next LTS.
    - debian/initscripts/{pre,postinst}: waitnfs.sh -> mountnfs.sh renaming
      transition. This needs to be kept until after the next LTS.
  * This version from Debian now kills processes using remote file systems in
    a proper way. (LP: #42121)

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-56) unstable; urgency=low

  * Avoid bashism in init.d/rc (Closes: #473694).

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-55) unstable; urgency=low

  * Change init.d/rc to disable startpar concurrency if insserv isn't
    enabled and if startpar fail to run.
  * Adjust init.d script dependencies for bootmisc.sh, as it can run
    before $remote_fs and need to run after both udev and hostname.

    #464869 get it removed on this upgrade.
  * Patch startpar to use the correct path to the rcX.d/ directories
    in "make mode".
  * Update LSB dependency for mountnfs.sh to make sure it is started
    after portmap.
  * Make sure init.d/sendsigs work even when /proc/cmdline is missing
    as it is on vserver clients (Closes: #468473).

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-53) unstable; urgency=low

  * Correct file name in output when removing conffiles, to
    use the correct file ending .dpkg-old, not .dpkg-bak.
  * Fix typo in omitpid handling in init.d/sendsigs (Closes: #462354)
  * Change progress bar calculations to not divide by zero when there
    are no progress steps to be taken (Closes: #463504).
  * Fix quoting typo in initscripts.preinst (Closes: #463551)

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-52) unstable; urgency=low

  * Rewrite conffile removal code in initscripts.preinst to use the
    original *.dpkg-old and not the *.dpkg-bak introduced by mistake
    when changing to use dpkg-query.
  * New patch 83_killall_manref to add references between killall5 and
    pidof, and mention pidof in killall5(8) (Closes: #461160).
  * Improve documentation for the CONCURRENCY option in /etc/init.d/rc
    (Closes: #408491).
  * New patch 93_sulogin_fallback to let sulogin fall back to the
    staticly linked /bin/sash if both roots shell and /bin/sh fail to
    execute.  Add suggests for sysvinit-utils to sah, for those that
    want this extra level of redundancy (Closes: #43317).

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-51) unstable; urgency=low

  * Remove debug code left by mistake in if-up.d/mountnfs when fixing
    bugs #460463 and 461011 (Closes: #461406).

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-50) unstable; urgency=low

  * Rewrite conffile removal code in initscripts.preinst to use dpkg-
    query instead of reading /var/lib/dpkg/status directly.
  * Do not allow "make -C debian/startpar clean" to fail, it should
    work every time.
  * Handle both trailing space after interface names and multiple
    interfaces on one auto line in /etc/network/interfaces when
    checking if the last interface has been enabled for NFS mounting
    (Closes: #460463, 461011).

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-49) unstable; urgency=low

  * Handle trailing space after interface names in
    /etc/network/interfaces when checking if the last interface has
    been enabled for NFS mounting (Closes: #460463).
  * New patch 27_last_usageopts to document options -adi in last usage
    output (Closes: #415525).

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-48) unstable; urgency=low

  * Removed unused mountvirtfs as a dependecy provides for
    init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh, to avoid duplicate provides.
  * Removed hostname as a dependency for init.d/bootmisc.sh, as it is
    now a dependency of checkroot.sh and thus still will have a known
    order in the boot.
  * Removed stop dependencies in the LSB header of bootmisc.sh.  Its
    stop operation is a no-op, and it is not run in any level to stop.
  * Document in stop-bootlogd-single why bootlogd has to be stopped in
    rcS.d/ for single user boots.
  * Specify that one is to read the init.d/bootlogd script in the
    stop-bootlogd* scripts. (Closes: #372676)
  * Drop libdevmapper as a dependency for init.d/checkfs.sh, as the
    init.d script was removed in devmapper version 2:1.02.24-1.
    Conflict initscripts with libdevmapper1.02.1 versions before that.
  * Drop modutils as a dependency for init.d/checkfs.sh, as the
    modutils package was removed 2007-07-04.
  * Drop $syslog as a dependency for init.d/rmnologin, as it seem to
    be redundant.
  * Extend waiting time of init.d/sendsigs from 0-5 seconds to 0-10
    seconds, to give slow processes more time to shut down properly.
  * Extend init.d/sendsigs to sync before killing processes, and to
    detect and report as a failure if it had to use SIGKILL to
    terminate processes.  Based on ideas from Gabor Gombas.
  * Drop lvm as optional depend for checkfs, mountall and umountfs,
    and conflict with insserv versions before 1.09.0-12 to make sure a
    version with the override file providing the same dependencies as
    reverse dependencies is used.
  * Extend sendsigs code to omit some pids during shutdown to also
    load pids from /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit and
    /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d/packagename, to make it easier for
    systems starting very early in the boot, or systems that need to
    modify the pid list at run time, to update their pid list (Closes:
    #459146).  Based on patch from Kel Modderman.
  * Change init.d/bootlogd to not report failure when trying to stop
    an already stopped bootlogd.
  * Change init.d/killprocs to use the same optimization as sendsigs,
    to avoid having to wait 5 seconds if there is no more processes.
  * Document the way to list /sys/ in /etc/fstab in initscripts
    README.Debian (Closes: #401424).
  * Reduce stop dependency for mountoverflowtmp from $local_fs to
    umountfs, to allow it to stop later during shutdown, and to make
    it possible to make it part of the $local_fs dependencies.
  * Remove initscripts conflict on mdutils.  mdutils was removed in
    woody.
  * Move optional start dependency on udev-mtab from checkfs to
    mountnfs, to better reflect the current ordering of these scripts.
  * Improve content of initscripts README.Debian, and document the new
    sendsigs omitpid interface there (Closes: #459425).  Based on
    patch from Kel Modderman.
  * Updated the startpar source to version 0.50 from
    <URL:ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/init/>.
  * Optimized the startpar case of init.d/rc to only call the progress
    bar API once for each startpar invocation.
  * Drop redundant optional dependency on kdm, gdm and xdm for
    rmnologin, as it already depend on $all.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-47) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added hostname as dependency and hdparm and bootlogd as optional
    dependencies for checkroot, to make sure the script are run before
    the root file system is checked when present.
  * Added libdevmapper, mtab and udev-mtab as optional dependencies
    for checkfs to make sure the script are run after the root is
    writable and before the other file system is checked.
  * Added lvm as optional stop dependency for umountfs, to make sure
    LVM is available when all non-root file systems are umounted.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-46) unstable; urgency=low

  * Move from experimental to unstable.
  * Remove debug code from init.d/mountoverflowtmp that was included
    by mistake.
  * Reduce output from init.d/mountoverflowtmp when VERBOSE!=yes.
  * Add $all as a dependency for init.d/single, to make sure it is
    started last in runlevel 1.
  * Change runlevel setting in LSB header for init.d/rmnologin and
    init.d/stop-bootlogd to not start in runlevel 1 (single user).
    This reflect the current and correct setting specified in the
    postinst.
  * Remove redundant $local_fs dependency from init.d/bootmisc.sh,
    init.d/rc.local, init.d/rmnologin and init.d/skeleton
  * Move /lib/init/bootclean to /lib/init/bootclean.sh and source it
    instead of running it.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-45) experimental; urgency=low

  * Replace log_daemon_msg() in init.d/rc with log_action_msg() to
    improve visual layout when parallel booting is enabled.
  * Avoid using startpar for rcS.d/.  It does not work properly before
    ptys are available.  Related to bug #457896.
  * Correct init.d/rc progress bar calculations for the startpar
    option, counting each script that is started in parallel too.
  * Patch startpar to not print exit codes for each subprocess, to
    reduce the noise during boot.
  * Remove usplash progress bar support from initscripts and use the
    API hook file provided by usplash version 0.5.8-2 instead.  Add
    conflict on earlier versions of usplash.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-44) experimental; urgency=low

  * Add debian/watch file pointing to ftp.cistron.nl.
  * Change init.d/mountnfs.sh dependencies to list nfs-common in
    should-start (Closes: #433359).
  * Change init.d/umountnfs.sh dependencies to list nfs-common in
    should-start too.
  * Mount a 1 MiB tmpfs on /tmp if /tmp is otherwise less than
    1 MiB to make sure one can still log in when /tmp/ is too
    full (Closes: #430814).  Based on patch from Ian Jackson and Ubuntu.
  * Rewrote ifup.d/mountnfs to wait for all 'auto' interfaces to be
    initialized before trying to mount network file systems (Closes:
    #386959, #390404, #418596, #419195, #426071, #428823, #432511,
    #432511, #432750, #433119, #434177).  Based on patch from Phil
    Snowdon.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-43) experimental; urgency=low

  * Fix typo in /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs fstab option parsing used to
    detect kerberos v5. (Closes: #416223)
  * Update sysv-rc documentation based on text and suggestions
    from Alessandro Vesely (Closes: #382410).
  * Modify rules to install /lib/init/bootclean with the execute flag
    set (Closes: 457847).

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-42) experimental; urgency=low

  * Change XS-Vcs-Svn to Vcs-Svn as the control flags are official now.
  * Add Vcs-Browser flag in debian/control, documenting the browsable source.
  * Change how init.d/rc call scripts, to make sure sourced scripts
    get the correct argument.
  * Reduce redundant code in init.d/rc, to make it easier to enable
    sourcing of *.sh scripts.  It is still not possible to source
    scripts, as some of them use exit and terminate the boot.  This is
    related to bug #339955.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-41) experimental; urgency=low

  * Update standards-version from 3.7.2 to 3.7.3.  No change needed.
  * Remove empty /lib/ directory from the sysvinit and sysvinit-utils
    packages.
  * Remove the empty /usr/share/man/man5/ from the sysv-rc package.
  * Remove the registration of init.d/modutils from
    initscripts/postinst, as the package is removed from Debian.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-40) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
  * Rewrite libata shutdown handling to use patch from
    Werner Fink at SuSe to handle each disk individually and
    automatically instead of guessing in the init.d script how
    to handle them collectively (Closes: #426224).  This removes
    the HDDOWN variable from /etc/default/halt.
  * Improve usage information in update-rc.d by using the same
    notation as the one used in the manual page (Closes: #268713)
  * Implement noswap kernel boot option to stop automatic
    swap activation at boot time (Closes: #388525).  Based on patch
    from Michael Prokop.
  * Rewrite init.d/rc to use shell features instead of calling sed
    (Closes: #406393).  Patch from Ivan Baldo.
  * Fix typo in update-rc.d example code (Closes: #433378).
  * Fix minor typo in rc*.d/README files (Closes: #452384).
  * Make sure init.d/rc do not complain because the new progress bar
    API is unavailable (Closes: #457544).
  * New patch 26_last_ipv6 from Fedora to recognize more IPv6
    addresses.
  * Extend the 68_init_quiet patch based on patch from Fedora to also
    suppress the "Switching to runlevel" message.  This patch is
    currently disabled because the 'quiet' flag is removed by the
    kernel when init is called.
  * New patch 69_init_waiting from Fedora to make sure the init
    waiting status is preserved across re-exec.
  * New patch 41_utmp_64bit from Fedora to avoid writing past the
    utmp.ut_tv struct on 64 bit architectures. (Closes: #450543)
  * New patch 64_init_init_reexec_env from Fedora to fix typo.  Now
    passes environment on to the new process when re-exec is used.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-39) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
  * Upload to experimental to get more feedback from testers.
  * Change checkfs.sh dependency info, make modutils an optional
    dependency as it is no longer installed by default.
  * Move /etc/init.d/bootclean to /lib/init/bootclean, as it is not an
    init.d script but a library.
  * Acknowledge NMU. (Closes: #433386)
  * Make /lib/init/vars.sh usable when 'set -e' is in effect.  Patch
    from Ubuntu.
  * Rename 20_pidof.dpatch to 80_killall_pidof.dpatch, to group the
    killall5 patches together.
  * New patch 82_killall_exclude_pids.dpatch adding new option -o
    to killall5, to omit killing the pid given on the command line.
    Based on patch from Ubuntu. (Closes: #453042)
  * Use new killall5 -o option in init.d/sendsigs, reading pids to
    omit from /var/run/sendsigs.omit.  This make it possible to list
    pids there if the process is required to umount the file systems
    during shutdown.  Make initscripts depend on sysvinit-utils
    (>= 2.86.ds1-39) to make sure killall5 support the -o option.
    Based on patch from Ubuntu.
  * Stop progress bar on ltsp-client-core too.  The script was renamed
    in recent ltsp versions.  Based on patch from Ubuntu.
  * Add linux-gnulp to debian/deps-mount, to get the correct behaviour
    with regard to initscripts dependencies on lpia.  Patch from Adam
    Conrad in Ubuntu.
  * Add splash screen / progress bar API to initscripts in
    /lib/init/splash-functions-base, overridable by the splash
    implementations in /lib/init/splash-functions.  Based on patch
    from David Härdeman. (Closes: #423095)  Make initscripts conflict
    with usplash (<< 0.5) to make sure a version with PULSATE support
    is used.
  * Rewrite init.d/rc progress bar support to use new API.  Move
    usplash calls to separate file splash-functions-usplash.  This
    file should be moved to the usplash package. Based on patch from
    David Härdeman.
  * Do not mount gfs2 as a local file system.  It is a network file system.
    Patch from  Guido Guenther (Closes: #454468).
  * Modify update-rc.d to refuse to install init.d scripts with illegal
    characters in the names.  Only accept [a-zA-Z0-9+.-] to match the
    limits on package names.  Correct handling of init.d scripts with
    + in their name (Closes: #431224).

  [ Henrique de Moraes Holschuh ]
  * libata shutdown handling fixes:
    Check http://linux-ata.org/shutdown.html for information
    * init.d/halt: do not issue -h to halt(8) when the kernel supports
      auto-shutdown
    * init.d/halt, default/halt: add HDDOWN option to override initscript
      halt -h logic
  * Add halt(5) manpage, updated for HDDOWN. Thanks to Casper Gielen for
    the manpage. (Closes: #407211)

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-38.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Rework starting of portmap and nfs-common to better fit the new and
    stricter mount.nfs; in particular, statd must be started for almost all
    mounts, so start nfs-common even for non-NFSv4 and non-Kerberos mounts.
    (Closes: #433386)

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-38) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Medium urgency as it solve an RC bug in etch.
  * New upload, this time with only the files included in svn, and without
    the cruft included by mistake last time.  No idea why svn-buildpackage
    didn't behave as I expected it to.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-37) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Medium urgency as it solve an RC bug in etch.
  * Replace 66_init_emerg_tty patch with one only creating a new
    session group when sulogin is called directly from init, and not
    as part of the runlevel start scripts, to avoid leaving the single
    user shell behind when switching runlevel.  Updated patch from Samuel
    Thibault. (Closes:406587)
  * Speed up shutdown 1 second by dropping sleep 1 in init.d/halt
    introduced 2.86.ds1-12.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-36) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Medium urgency as it solve some RC bugs in etch.
  * Don't reset step to 0 between running Kill and Start scripts
    (this is why the progress bar jumps during splash down).  Patch from
    Scott James Remnant and Ubuntu.
  * Also consider ltsp-client as end-point for the usplash
    progress bar.  Patch from Scott James Remnant and Ubuntu.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-35) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Medium urgency as it solve some RC bugs in etch.
  * Make sure init.d/umountfs umount tmpfs file systems in order of
    decreasing length, to avoid problems on systems with chroots.
    Patch from Peter Rabbitson.  (Closes: #391673)
  * Add boot option ASYNCMOUNTNFS=no to get the old init.d/mountnfs.sh
    behaviour until ifup work properly with / on NFS.  The default is
    'yes' as it has the highest chance of success for non-diskless machines.
    It is also useful for machines with multiple network cards.
    (Closes: #388761, #393532)
  * Fix syslogging code in if-up.d/mountnfs to find logger if it exist.
    Patch from John Morrissey.  (Closes: #398644)
  * Avoid file descriptor leak to mount in init.d/mtab.sh.  Based
    on patch from David Härdeman. (Closes: #397525).
  * Fix typo in message added in 91_sulogin_lockedpw.dpatch.
    Thanks to Robert Bihlmeyer.  (Closes: #399715)
  * Undo use of fuser to kill processes in umountnfs before unmounting
    partitions, as it will kill init and /etc/init.d/rc during
    shutdown if root is on NFS or tmpfs file systems are bind-mounted
    into chroots.  Use sendsigs and move it before umountnfs, and thus
    reopen bugs #258420, #367944.  (Closes: #392861)

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-34) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Medium urgency as it solve some RC bugs.
  * Remove the postinst code in initscripts for mounting /lib/init/rw/.
    Just require a reboot for it to take effect, instead of trying to
    make sure it is mounted when the package is installed.  Flag this
    need using /usr/share/update-notifier/notify-reboot-required if it
    exist.  (Closes: #393465, #391605, #390126)
  * Remove debian/sysv-rc/postinst as well as it is unused now.
  * Replace SElinux patches 40_selinux and 41_selinux_console with updated
    40_selinux from Manoj Srivastava. (Closes: #394304)
  * Print message when refusing to mount nfs directories because the
    lockdir exist.
  * Add exit handler in if-up.d/mountnfs to make sure the lock directory
    is removed when the script is interrupted.
  * Remove NEWS entries explaining how to recover from the version of
    sysv-rc present 6th to 8th of September in unstable.  Remove
    update-rc.d-recover as it should no longer be needed. (Closes:
    #394332)
  * Add XS-Vcs-Svn entry in the control file, to make the subversion
    repository easier to find.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-33) unstable; urgency=low

  * Do not insert /dev/.static/dev in /etc/mtab, and do not try to
    umount it either.  Avoids confusing users. (Closes: #391122)
  * Let initscripts conflict with udev << 0.080-1, and stop calling
    mountdevsub.sh from mtab.sh. (Closes: #391312)
  * Do not fail to install initscripts even if /lib/init/rw/ can
    not be mounted. (Closes: #391115)
  * Adjust how fuser is called by umountnfs, using the exit code from
    fuser instead of looking at its output. Based on patch from Markus
    Schoder. (Closes: 390936)

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-32) unstable; urgency=low

  * Set SE context on /dev/pts and /dev/ptm if they are created by
    mountdevsubfs.sh to work better with SELinux.  Patch from Erich
    Schubert. (Closes: 390897)

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-31) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix calls to fuser in umountnfs.sh.  Thanks to Frank Mehnert for the tip.
  * Correct code detecting single-user in stop-bootlog-single to only
    trigger on '1' as single word and not as option argument. (Closes:
    #390572, #387340)

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-30) unstable; urgency=low

  * Avoid mounting /lib/init/rw/ during installation and upgrades if
    the kernel do not support tmpfs. (Closes: #390339)

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-29) unstable; urgency=low

  * Ignore problems with creating /var/run and /var/lock during
    installation and upgrades.  This should avoid installation problem
    in vserver environments.
  * Only try to create /var/run and /var/lock on the root file system
    in non-chroot environments?
  * Use 'mkdir -p' when creating /.root, to avoid failing if it
    already exist.  (Closes: #390327)
  * Do not try to create /var/run and /var/lock during installation or
    upgrades if /var is a relative symlink.  It is not going to
    work. (Closes: #390328)
  * List the options found in /etc/fstab after the default options
    used when mounting virtual file systems, to allow options in fstab
    to override the defaults. (Closes: #390181)

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-28) unstable; urgency=low

  * Avoid mounting /lib/init/rw/ when being installed in a chroot
    environment. (Closes: #390126)
  * Update init.d/mtab.sh to make sure it store the correct options
    used to mount /dev/shm in /etc/mtab.
  * Drop the 'noexec' flag from the /dev/shm/ mount point until etch
    is released, to avoid breaking dosemu and user-mode-linux.  It will
    be reintroduced after etch is released.  This is related to
    bugs #386945 and #386368.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-27) unstable; urgency=low

  * Make sure to mount /lib/init/rw/ during upgrades if it isn't mounted
    already, to make it sure available for its users when the new initscripts
    package is installed

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-26) unstable; urgency=low

  * Change umountnfs to use /etc/mtab instead of /proc/mounts, to make
    sure it see the _netdev option.  umountfs still uses /proc/mounts
    to make every non-root file system is unmounted before halt or
    reboot. (Closes: #383124)
  * Correct exit code handling in init.d/rc.local. (Closes: #389435)

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-25) experimental; urgency=low

  * Improve manual entry for RAMRUN and RAMLOCK run rcS(5).
  * Correct mtab.sh to make sure the mtab content matches the options used
    when mounting /var/run/.
  * New defaults/tmpfs options RUN_SIZE and LOCK_SIZE, controlling the
    tmpfs size.  Modified the mount code to also use TMPFS_SIZE if
    set as a fallback value.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-24) experimental; urgency=low

  * Make sure we do not umount /lib/init/rw/ during shutdown.
  * Make it easier to debug the splash progress bar in init.d/rc.
  * Correct mtab entry for /sys, to make sure its 'device' is sysfs.
  * Include vars.sh in mtab.sh, to make sure the RAMRUN and RAMLOCK
    options are available when used.
  * Add defaults/tmpfs option RW_SIZE to control the size of
    /lib/init/rw/, and change mountkernfs.sh to use TMPFS_SIZE too if
    it is set.
  * Rewrite post_mountall() function to avoid mounting /var/run/ and
    /var/lock/ on top of themselves when RAMRUN or RAMLOCK is enabled.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-23) experimental; urgency=low

  * Make the tmpfs on /var/run/ and /var/lock/ optional, and provide
    RAMRUN and RAMLOCK options in /etc/default/rcS to control this.
    Remove code to convert to this feature when the package is
    upgraded or installed.  It will take effect after a reboot if
    /etc/default/rcS is modified.  Keep them disabled for now.
    Create .ramfs files in the directories if tmpfs is used to make it
    easier for other scripts to know if they are safe to use early in
    the boot.
  * Create /lib/init/rw/, and mount a tmpfs there to garantee some
    writable area very early in the boot.  Use this in checkroot.sh if
    a device node need to be created.  Create .ramfs indicator when
    it is mounted.
  * Move sulogin to the sysvinit-utils package as well. (Closes: #388417)
  * Add new halt option NETDOWN to make it easier to enable
    wake-on-lan. (Closes: #388244)
  * Add a stop dependency for umountroot on kexec, to document the
    correct location for a kexec script.  Related to bug #387599.
  * Make sure update-rd.d-recover is not compressed to make it easier to run.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-22) experimental; urgency=low

  * Let mountdevsubfs provide mountvirtfs to work with init.d scripts
    with obsolete dependency information.
  * Change mounting of virtual file systems to specify the device name
    explicitly, to make sure /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab end up with
    the same device name.
  * Split killall5, last, lastb, mesg and pidof out of the sysvinit
    package into a new sysvinit-utils package to make it easier to
    replace sysvinit. (Closes: #385722)
  * Mount /var/run/ as tmpfs in mountkernfs.sh, to have some place to
    write state information very early in the boot, and thus avoid a
    lot of cludges in scripts running before partitions are checked
    and mounted.  Mount /var/lock/ as tmpfs to avoid having to clean
    it during boot, and to have some place to store locks for the
    things running before partitions are checked and mounted.
    Packages need to create the directories they expect to find in
    these directories from now on.  Patch from Scott James Remnant and
    Ubuntu.
  * Adjust checkroot.sh to create the root device node in /var/run/
    when needed, instead of mounting its own tmpfs.  Modified
    /var/run/ to allow devices and executables.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-21) experimental; urgency=low

  * Correct status report handling in umountnfs.sh.  Based on patch
    from Markus Schoder. (Closes: #386893)
  * Change mountnfs.sh, rc.local and skeleton to use /lib/init/vars.sh
    instead of sourcing /etc/default/rcS, to activate the INIT_VERBOSE
    variable for these scripts.
  * Add support in the init.d scripts for the 'quiet' kernel option.
    Keep support for the experiemental INIT_VERBOSE, to make it
    possible to override VERBOSE=no on the kernel command line.
  * New draft patch 68_init_quiet to make init less verbose when the
    'quiet' kernel option is used.  If it worked, it would solve bug
    #326677.
  * Add a few lintian overrides for things that are correct though strange.
  * Rewrite sendsigs to sleep up to 5 seconds (instead of always
    sleeping 5 seconds) during shutdown if there are no processes left
    to wait for.  Modify killall5 to make it report if it found any
    processes to kill to make this possible.
  * Modify mtab.sh to include /dev/.static/dev in /etc/mtab, to avoid
    message from umountfs during shutdown about it being missing in mtab.
  * Now that mtab is properly updated by mtab.sh before mountall.sh,
    there is no need to have special handling of proc file systems.
    Remove the code from mountall.sh. (Closes: #359651)
  * Only kill processes using remote file systems before trying to
    umount them, if fuser from the psmisc package is available, and
    move sendsigs to a point between where remote and local file systems
    are umounted.  Recommend psmisc for package initscripts.
    (Closes: #258420, #367944)
  * Add conditional dependency on glibc for hostname.sh and
    mountkernfs.sh, to allow the glibc warnings to show up without
    anything running in parallel.
  * Change default PATH in initscripts and init to prefer sbin/ over
    bin/, to avoid picking user visible replacement for system
    binaries.  This avoids shutdown problems on some
    machines. (Closes: #354163)
  * Fix typo in init.d/README. (Closes: #387236)
  * Add /usr/bin/ to the checkroot and checkfs PATH, to make sure
    on_ac_power is used if it is available. (Closes: #387308)
  * Modify mtab.sh to insert the device name used when mounting
    /dev/shm/ in /etc/mtab.  (Closes: #387216)

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-20) unstable; urgency=low

  * Change initscripts postinst to use update-rc.d program instead of
    its shell script function when insserv is installed.
  * Change updatercd call order in initscripts postinst to make sure
    they are called in dependency order, to work better with insserv.
  * Improve update-rc.d-recover script to look in /var/log/dpkg.log
    for version 2.86.ds1-17 as well as 2.86.ds1-16.  Patch from Stefan
    Bellon.
  * LSB header updates:
    - sendsigs should stop before umountnfs, and umountnfs should stop
      before umountfs, until we have a solution for bug #258420 and
      #367944.
    - mountnfs.sh should list $network as an optional dependency like
      for umountnfs, to work on machines without network.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-19) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add new NEWS entry with a better shell fragment for recovering
    from the update-rc.d problem.  Add script
    /usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/update-rc.d-recover to make it easier for
    people to recover from problems introduced in versions 2.86.ds1-16
    and 2.86.ds1-17.(Closes: #386649)
  * Rewrite checkroot.sh to not use lazy umount and a private tmpfs,
    and keep the tmpfs mounted on /tmp/ as long as checkroot.sh need
    it.  It seem that fsck did not like relative device paths.
    (Closes: #386347, #386699)
  * LSB header updates:
    - umountfs should execute before umountroot, not before halt or
      reboot.
    - umountroot should stop in runlevel 0 and 6, and execute before
      halt or reboot.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-18) unstable; urgency=low

  * Make sure running update-rc.d several times do not remove the
    rc*.d/ symlinks, fixing bug introduced in 2.86.ds1-16.  Patch from
    Arjan Oosting. (Closes: #386500) Added entry in NEWS file to give
    clues on how to fix the breakage in upgraded packages introduced
    by this.  Print a warning when upgrading from the broken versions.
  * Change checkroot.sh to use a private tmpfs file system for its
    device file if it is missing from /dev/. (Closes: #386347)
  * Also create possibly non-existant parent directory of lock directory
    /var/run/network/mountnfs in ifup script.  Patch from Arjan
    Oosting. (Closes: #386449).
  * Mark /etc/init.d/rc.local as a conffile, to make sure we do not
    replace an exisitng rc.local file without warning the system
    admin. (Closes: #386418)
  * Mount /dev/pts/ with noexec,nosuid, as it is only used for device files.
  * Change sysv-rc to print a message when enabling concurrent boot,
    specifying the concurrency style.  Recommend lsb-base and use it
    if available.
  * Teach init.d/stop-bootlogd-single to accept the kernel arguments
    'S' and '1' as well as 'single' as single-user mode triggers.
    (Closes: #367465, #372669)
  * Only report umounting of remote file systems when there are remote
    file systems to umount.
  * Remove 'S' from default-stop in skeleton.  It never make sense to add
    stop links in rcS.d/.
  * Remove execute bit from /etc/init.d/skeleton. (Closes: #372666)
  * LSB header updates:
    - stop-bootlogd should run after rmnologin.
    - mountdevsub.sh should start after udev, if it exist.
    - rc.local should not depend on $all to allow it to start earler
      in the boot.
    - stop-bootlogd-single should depend on $all, to get it last in
      the rcS.d/ sequence.
    - umountnfs.sh should stop in runlevel 0 and 6, and execute before
      umountnfs, sendsigs, portman and $network.
    - sendsigs should stop in runlevel 0 and 6, and execute before
      umountfs.
    - umountfs should stop in runlevel 0 and 6, and execute before halt
      or reboot, if it exist.
    - halt should stop in runlevel 0, and not run before any other script.
    - reboot should stop in runlevel 6, and not run before any other script.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-17) unstable; urgency=low

  * Make some log messages more usplash friendly in the VERBOSE=yes case.
  * Undo fix for #309813, it was correct before.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-16) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix emergency mode's tty, making sure ^C and ^Z work when booting
    with 'emergency' kernel option.  Patch from Samuel
    Thibault. (Closes: #374543)
  * Rewrite usplash reactivation code in init.d/sendsigs to match the
    code in Ubuntu.  It need to behave the same way as the usplash
    startup code, and should not match the code deciding if
    usplash_write should be used.
  * Change handling of CONCURRENCY in init.d/rc, to make sure an
    unrecognized value is treated as 'none'. (Closes: #380602)
  * Make sure SATA disks are powered down as well as IDE disks.  Patch
    from Sebastian Reichelt.  (Closes: #348172)
  * Mount /dev/shm, /sys, /proc and /proc/bus/usb using
    noexec,nodev,nosuid to make it harder to misuse.
    (Closes: #378182, #378280)
  * Move NFS mounting to an if-up.d script, to make sure we try to
    mount NFS file systems after the network is available.  Based on
    patch from Ubuntu.  Modified to rewrite mountnfs.sh instead of
    renaming it to waitnfs.sh.  (Closes: #360123)
  * Add rc.local support to be more compatible with non-Debian
    distributions.  Patch from Fabio M. Di Nitto via Ubuntu.  Modified to
    not print messages when VERBOSE=no.
  * Drop and remove /etc/init.d/mountvirtfs.  It is obsolete.
  * Do not try to mount netdev file systems in mountall.sh.
    (Closes: #383073, #386063)
  * Mount netdev file systems when the network is up. (Closes: #383123)
  * Umount netdev file systems in umountnfs.sh. (Closes: #383124)
  * Remove obsolete code in init.d/rc to execute /sbin/unconfigured.sh
    and /sbin/setup.sh.  It was only to be used during installation,
    and the installer no longer need it.  Add a init.d script if you
    need the functionallity.
  * Change LSB dependency info for mtab.sh.  It need a writable root
    file system to update /etc/mtab, and should thus depend on
    checkroot, not mountall.
  * Move mtab to rcS.d/S12mtab.sh, to make sure it is the first script
    to run after checkroot.sh.
  * Change init.d/mtab.sh to be more self-contained, and update
    /etc/mtab with info on all file systems mounted before /etc/mtab
    was writable by processing /proc/mounts.  Based on patch from
    Scott James Remnant and Ubuntu.
  * Add empty functions pre_mountall and post_mountall to reduce the
    difference between the Ubuntu version
  * Modify update-rc.d to run properly with perl error checking enabled.
  * Add support for parsing LSB headers in update-rc.d, and use the
    runlevel information in the default-start and default-stop headers
    if they are present.  Document this in update-rc.d(8).  This can
    be used instead of the 'multiuser' extention in Ubuntu, by setting
    the 'default-stop' value to '1' in the init.d script.
    Only enable this feature when /etc/update-rc.d-lsbparse exist
    while we verify that LSB headers are correct.
  * Change the default VERBOSE value from yes to no.
  * Move init.d/hostname.sh to the very top of the boot sequence,
    as it only require a readable /etc/hostname and a working kernel.
  * Use the stop scripts from the runlevel we are leaving, not the one
    we are entering, when switching between runlevels. (Closes: #309813)

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-15) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
  * Modify LSB header for init.d/rmnologin, to make sure it is
    executed with the 'stop' argument for runlevel 0 and 6, and make
    it depend on '$all' to put it last in the startup sequence.
  * Update the LSB descripton header for init.d/hostname.sh.
  * Make sure hostname.sh return error code when it fail. (Closes: #365062)
  * Fix 'startpar' concurrency option to only run start and stop
    scripts only once.  Patch from Sören Köpping. (Closes: #378092)
  * Fix init.d/rc to make it possible to specify the CONCURRENCY
    setting in /etc/default/rcS.
  * Fix typo in update-rc.d.8 manual page.  Patch from Justin
    Pryzby. (Closes: #374476)
  * Improve text in init.d/README to make it more obvious that the .sh
    scripts should be working also when executed individually.  Patch
    from Bart Martens.  (Closes: #362888)
  * Modify the comment before the conditional calls to on_ac_power, to
    document that checkfs.sh and checkroot.sh are written to work just
    fine also when /usr/bin/on_ac_power is unavailable. (Closes: #367867)
  * Integrate the patches from Ubuntu where I understand why they are
    useful:
    - Change runlevel manpage to be less misleading.
    - Make messages in init.d/sendsigs less technical.  Based on patch
      from Ubuntu.
    - Update progress bar changes in init.d/sendsigs and init.d/rc.
      Based on patch from Ubuntu.  Changed patch to check only once in
      init.d/rc if the progress bar is enabled, and to use the same
      way in sendsigs and rc to decide if it is enabled or not.  It
      will be enabled if /sbin/usplash_write is executable.
    - If /dev/.udev.log exists, move it to /var/log/udev.log.  Patch
      from Scott James Remnant.
    - Do not umount /dev/shm in umountnfs.sh.  It is a tmpfs and can be
      safely left behind when shutting down the system.
  * Update standards version from 3.6.2.1 to 3.7.2.  No changes required.
  * Acknowledge NMU.  Thanks, Steinar H. Gunderson . (Closes: #359176)
