Control: tag -1 +patch
Attached is a patch that adds a sysvinit task to tasksel.
It's fairly light (11 lines total in two files: control and task
description) but it means translations need to be updated.
Plus I haven't tested it, as I don't intend to use sysvinit myself anyway.
IMHO, it should be considered for Debian 8.1 (Next Jessie refresh) or
maybe even the first Jessie release, given the amount of user interest
on this functionality.
Main stopper is the freeze, as this should be tested (fortunately it
is really light) and translated.
Nevertheless, the freeze managers may consider a freeze exception for
this: we've all seen the amount of discussion on how to avoid
installing with systemd.
If this patch can make a non-systemd installation easy, it is worth
consideration, isn't it?
Regards,
Erich
