I'm pleased to announce the release of SysV init 3.02. This release has a few more changes than usual, mostly minor improvements and documentation updates.
One significant change in this release is the introduction of a translation framework provided by Mario Blttermann. Hopefully this will make working with translations of the manual pages easier for packagers. Another important change is we are migrating from Savannah infrastructure to GitHub. More developers seem to want to use it as a platform and the release process should be smoother. It'll also be easier for people to subscribe to updates/changes this way, I feel. Version 3.02 is being released on both platforms (Savannah and GitHub) to ease the transition. However, future releases will probably be published on GitHub exclusively unless someone puts forward a strong case for maintaining releases in two places. The new source code tarball can be downloaded from Savannah: https://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/sysvinit/ GitHub: https://github.com/slicer69/sysvinit/releases/tag/3.02 Issues can be reported here: https://github.com/slicer69/sysvinit/issues Changes between 3.01 and 3.02: * Added q and Q flags to synopsis in shutdown manual page. * Applied fixes for markup and spacing in manual pages. Patch provided by Mario Blattermann. * Added translation framework (po4a) from Mario Blttermann. * Added Makefile for man/ directory. Will handle translations and substitutions. * Applied new translations for multiple languages from Mario Blattermann. * Added ability to use "@" symbol in command named in the inittab file. This treats commands as literal and does not launch a shell to interpret them. * Updated inittab manual page to include overview of symbols which trigger a shell interpretor and how to disable them using the @ symbol. * Introduced change which adds error checking in bootlogd when performing chdir(). - Provided by Alexander Vickberg * Add check for console using TIOCGDEV on Linux systems in bootlogd to make finding console more robust. - Provided by Alexander Vickberg
