Considering that the Holy Grail of fixing #668001 for Jessie is utterly remote you do yourself no favours by not testing it if you want another init at first boot of a new system. > I definitely want a straight upgrade path with a minimum of problems, > and a minimum of wasted time. That’s why I choosed Debian. This thread is not about upgrading but about installing Jessie with an init other than systemd without first installing systemd. One of the claims is that there is no functional difference between installing sysvinit-core before or after first boot. Your lack of interest in testing is hardly evidence against the claim. > Exchanging an unwanted package is wasted time and unnecessary risk. I think it is kinda neat, myself. All that happens is that dpkg removes systemd-sysv and installs sysvinit-core. This is about as basic a procedure as it gets on a Debian system. You would have to lack an awful lot of faith in dpkg and provide supporting evidence of any misbehaviour to drawback from doing it. > If Debian ignores the needs of the users, they will give up using > Debian sooner or later. Most users who want what the OP wants will merely sigh and get on with it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
