reopen 770812 thanks Hello, Read the QUESTION. Not only the word "systemd".
You are still not listening to my actual question, only raising your sysvinit-shields. I'm asking if a TASK can solve this maybe more nicely than the other proposed approaches. Bug #668001 does not mention this possibility as far as I can tell: The word "task" is NEVER discussed there. And the "late_command" solution is not userfriendly at all. Therefore, this is a different wishlist item, against a different package, too... There is a reason why I filed this bug against *tasksel*, and not debootstrap! I WILL accept a closing for this (non-RC, wishlist) bug IF you can point out a thread e.g. on debian-boot where the option of a task-sysvinit package to make the users happy is discussed. The tech-ctte discussion you cited also does NOT discuss this option... Because adding a task to the tasksel list IS something else than adding a whole new bootstrap option... The only mentioning of tasksel in the tech-ctte thread is this: "1. The TC encourages a team (probably debian-boot) to provide a package (similar to tasksel), let's call it initsel," Making a "similar" mechanism clearly is much more invasive than trying to use the existing tasksel mechanism, isn't it? But apparently you didn't read my question, only "systemd" and "sysvinit install". I begin to understand what the systemd opponents complain about... You don't actually discuss the technical aspect (can a task package solve this), but instead you try to silence me by 1.) closing the bug without discussion, now 2) closing it with a totally different argument and the "Tech-CTTE and GR have decided" hammer and "don't bring up the bug count"?!? We had a GR about making it *mandatory* to support sysvinit. The GR does allow to use the traditional Debian way of developing features and improving portability. Reporting a specific wishlist bug for an *optional* functionality IS THE PROPER PROCEDURE, isn't it? Don't come with absurd "we're in freeze, so don't open wishlist bugs" arguments... That's not what a freeze is, and the wishlist bug does not > - Debian is frozen, we're trying to get the RC count down Seriously. A wishlist bug is not RC, is it? Back to the topic, would you PLEASE bother to discuss the option of adding a task to tasksel for sysvinit installation? Is it possible (at all), and how much testing is needed, can get this tested in time for jessie?
