*Subject: *[DNG] Init scripts in packages
Currently Debian packages contains both systemd units and init scripts.
However, Debian developers refused to support several init systems. So
it's
only a matter of time when they remove init scripts from packages.
What will Devuan developers do when it happens? We can use sysvinit and
Devuan because these init scripts exist.
It occurs to me that nobody raised the obvious questions:
1. Are we seeing upstream developers shipping systemd scripts, or
systemd scripts w/o sysv init scripts? I'm not sure I have.
2. What the heck are Debian developers (packagers, actually), doing
removing init scripts?
Me, I've been installing key packages from upstream sources for years -
avoids having to deal with out-of-date packages and such. (The basic
environment is certainly easier to install and maintain via apt - but
key production packages, hell no.)
