Upstream debian package for OVS is maintained by Ben Pfaff and I think he simply uploads from the openvswitch repo. So I think a different version just for upstream debian wouldn't work.

I think adding an upstart file is fine as long as the current /etc/init.d/openvswitch-switch exists. But I would like to know the use case properly. Why do we need the upstart job? If it is because we want OVS to start before NFS by default, then that I think is a bug and will cause problems. If the primary goal is to just emit events for other upstart jobs, then it would be nice if there is some sort of integration between the upstart job and /etc/init.d/openvswitch-switch. (I do not know how upstart jobs work very well, so I may need more details while you respond.) > > > Thanks, > -- > Andrew James > > _______________________________________________ > dev mailing list > dev@openvswitch.org > http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
