Ok, so I took it upon myself to make some of the requested changes, as far as my current ability and worktime allows: * Cleared the trailing whitespace. * Updated the nslcd.init patch to use init_is_upstart
However, while I can update a patch, I have no knowledge as yet on how/where to specify the Depends: lsb-base (>= 4.1+Debian3) nor do I know how to "handle stopping the service in their preinst when upgrading from a pre-upstart-capable version" as per the final section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UpstartCompatibleInitScripts Likewise the maintainer update was not done for similar reasons... Sorry I can't yet be of more help. ** Patch added: "nslcd-upstart-12.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nss-pam-ldapd/+bug/806761/+attachment/4106675/+files/nslcd-upstart-12.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/806761 Title: Feature Request: Upstart scripts for nslcd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nss-pam-ldapd/+bug/806761/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
