Package: insserv Version: 1.14.0-2 Severity: normal >From /usr/share/doc/insserv/README.Debian:
An experimental feature to run init.d scripts in parallel is also available. Use the CONCURRENCY setting in /etc/default/rcS to enable it. In short: # Enable parallel booting echo CONCURRENCY=makefile >> /etc/default/rcS .... The 'makefile' style concurrency depend on complete and correct dependencies in all init.d scripts. There is a simpler and less strict style 'startpar' This conflicts with /etc/init.d/rc from sysv-rc 2.88dsf-13: # Specify method used to enable concurrent init.d scripts. # Valid options are 'none' and 'makefile'. Obsolete options # used earlier are 'shell' and 'startpar'. The obsolete options # are aliases for 'makefile' since 2010-05-14. The default since # the same date is 'makefile', as the init.d scripts in Debian now # include dependency information and are ordered using this # information. See insserv for information on dependency based # boot sequencing. CONCURRENCY=makefile I think that sysv-rc is right: it boots parallel by default (when possible), and regards startpar as an obsolete alias for makefile. Therefore please update the README file. The Debian Release Notes, Section 2.1.2 is also wrong about parallel booting not enabled by default. If you agree I will file a bug report aginst it. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=hu_HU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=hu_HU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages insserv depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib insserv recommends no packages.
