There's no particular version to attach this to really, I'm afraid (see below). > +The behaviour of 'halt' has changed > +=================================== > + > +systemd changes the behaviour of the 'halt' command. > +This command halts the machine but no longer turns off the power - > +to do that, use 'shutdown -h' or 'poweroff'. > +The old behaviour is regarded as a bug by upstream and won't be changed > +in this package, so as to maintain compatibility with other Linux distros. > + This sounds confusing -- systemd has never changed the behaviour of "halt"; sysvinit misimplemented halt, so the change is between changing init systems, not upgrading any particular version. How about something like "halt" behaviour ================ Under SysV init the "halt" command erroneously powered off the machine, same as "poweroff". Under systemd the "halt" command does not turn off the power -- to do that, use "shutdown -h" or "poweroff". ? -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org) _______________________________________________ Pkg-systemd-maintainers mailing list Pkg-systemd-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-systemd-maintainers
