There are two processes at work here. One is me asking every package maintainer to add dependency info into their init.d scripts. When they do that, I try to update the override files with the ones in the scripts, assuming they know their package better then I do. To make this a bit easier, a lintian test to check init.d scripts was recently added. Next, there is me trying to submit bts bugs for each package with init.d scrpits wiht missing or incorrect dependency info. This is a slow process, as need to write individual bug reports for each package. You can track the progress of that on <URL: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/[EMAIL PROTECTED] >. There is also the Google summer of code project to look at the boot system, finishing these days, with some info and resources on the top. <URL: http://initscripts-ng.alioth.debian.org/soc2006-bootsystem/ > have more info on that. More hands to get more scripts to include LSB-formatted info would be great. The insserv package source is available from the initscripts-ng alioth project. I've fixed quite a lot of override files, but know there are lots more to be fixed. Friendly, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
