Dear colleagues, I seek your advice.
Samuel, as Debian GNU/Hurd user and
Justin, as developer who wrote sysvinit-core.config,
you may be the most knowledgable about issue.
I am trying to understand, what is the purpose of following code in
sysvinit-core.config:
if [ "$(uname)" = GNU ]; then
db_set sysvinit/hurd-fix-inittab "true"
if echo '3e3693078d18d4696c83a76531433cd4 /etc/inittab' \
| md5sum --status --check -; then
# The file is unmodified, update it silently.
:
elif [ $(fgrep -c -e '/libexec/getty' /etc/inittab) -gt 0 ] || \
[ $(grep -c '^c:' /etc/inittab) -eq 0 ]; then
db_input low sysvinit/hurd-fix-inittab || true
db_go
fi
fi
What is magic md5 '3e3693078d18d4696c83a76531433cd4'? What is the state
of transition it was intended for?
