hi all Can anyone clarify how /etc/rc.local is being removed in Debian 9?
I got this from rumors in bitcoin's core development, since I'm not subscribed to Debian lists. The rumor is confirmed by some online debates on gitlab and stack overflow. Can someone point out to the decision process for this? Following up after the conversation on redis, when we had the elected Debian leader chiming in here to defend his position and keep deleting init.d scripts, I still believe this is again "even worst than I thought" and it is "vandalism". This will certainly keep playing in favor of our fork since no-nonsense people will come this way, but is very painful to see Debian's users are being mistreated to this point. What is happening, and is a pattern, is that parts of Debian that work well and are widely used by people are being arbitrarily removed. This doesn't make Debian "universal" anymore, while betraying once again its mandate of respecting user's freedom. Noone can trust Debian if it keeps changing things that work for some, just because of imposing a new thing that others like. Well beyond and nothwitstanding the qualities of any free and open source software, Debian is clearly harming another sort of freedom, the sort that was granted in the free space we all knew rc.local has always been.. is there any internal discussion about such governance issues in Debian? is there any hope the current leadership will change and perhaps repair what this vandalism is breaking? ciao _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
