DJ, what is the current status of the bootscripts? I recall you changing something WRT the removing the PID of the script, but is there anything else in the works? If not, perhaps a pre-release could be generated so it receives more wide-spread testing.
AFAIK, there are no outstanding issues with what is currently in svn, unfortunately, there hasn't been much testing either. The lfs scripts have not changed since September 11, which is when I created a pre-1 tarball. Nothing was done with it at the time. Since then, there have only been textual changes to the lsb scripts, but I went ahead and created a new tarball anyway if anyone would like to use them and give feedback.
A quick summary of changes: The ghost PIDs (and false already running messages) have been fixed; boot_mesg() has been greatly simplified without the text wraping; and logging was moved out of the standard scripts. There will still need more changes when 2.6.15 and no hotplug/udev changes occur.
As far as any official release, Nathan is the person to talk to. He's not been readily availible lately, IIRC due to telco, but he has been checking in when possible.
