Cool. Another version of sysvinit, We can test it on Dragora -devel.
I suggest to change the -fstack-protector option to -fstack-protector-strong by default, which provides a good balance between security, performance. Also, do not forget to distribute an alternative format, for us.. the people who tries to avoid .xz. :-) (If you don't like lzip, it could be in .tar.bz2, alongside the .tar.xz).
