Hello, I'm recently looked at a bunch of people's maintscripts, and noted a number a strange-looking things. I'm mailing you because you maintain one of the strangest of them. If you know more than me, and everythinig is okay and as intended, then feel free to discard this message (but consider making it more obvious why things are done in what seems to be a nonintuitive way, or explaining stuff to me otherwise :).
The strange things are: at.prerm This script isn't set -e, checks for executability of a different thing than I would expect, based on comparison with other maintscripts, and calls invoke-rc.d atd stop || true, which both ignores errors from invoke-rc.d, and fails to stop atd if invoke-rc.d doesn't exist [0] or returns nonsuccessfully, etc. klogd.postinst This script disables set -e while running the initscript, which itself isn't set -e. It also runs the initscript with "sh" instead of calling it directly. libc6.postinst Runs a ".sh" initscript, which has [recently] been changed to be sourced, rather than run. Uses || true, and 2>/dev/null. At least it says "don't copy this as an example". mysql-server-5.0.postrm Uses set +e while running the initscripts. x11-common.config Calls invoke-rc.d without a fall-back calling the init script directly [0], and ignore the exit status. [0] It seems like this will fail with initng from experimental, which doesn't (yet?) have an invoke-rc.d. Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
