183 * Drop execution of files in /etc/rc.boot from sysv-rc. This feature
184 have been obsolete since before 1999. Remove the rc.boot(5) manual
185 page from the source as well.
186 * Make init.d/rc.local depend on $all to get it to start later in
187 the boot sequence (Closes: #539084).
188 * Rewrite message from update-rc.d to make it more obvious that both
189 start and stop symlinks are taken into account (Closes: #519553).
190 * Rewrite /etc/rcS.d/README and /etc/rc[2-5].d/README to explain how
191 to disable a service at a given runlevel with the dependency based
192 boot sequencing. Remove the list of well known sequence numbers
193 in rcS.d/ that is no longer valid with dependency based boot
195 * Make sysv-rc Breaks: initscripts (<< 2.86.ds1-63) to make sure
196 scripts working with makefile style concurrent booting is
197 installed. Not using dependency to avoid circular dependency
198 between initscripts and sysv-rc.
199 * Move the code to migrate to dependency based boot sequencing
200 during upgrades from the insserv package to the sysv-rc package.
201 Depend on insserv (>> 1.12.0-10) for this. Let initscripts depend
202 on sysv-rc | file-rc to make sure they are installed first.
203 Migration is a one-way process, enabled after a critical debconf
204 question during upgrades when it is safe to do so (Closes:
205 #540546, #541041, 541604). Checks previously done by
206 update-bootsystem-insserv are now only done once in sysv-rc
207 postinst (Closes: #538934). Dependency based boot sequencing is
208 now the default. This change make it possible to remove both
209 sysv-rc and insserv (Closes: #538959) if other packages want to
210 take over the boot sequencing resposibility.
211 * Rewrite initscripts postinst to always use the update-rc.d script
212 instead of the legacy updatercd() function which was used as a
213 speed optimization no longer relevant when dependency based boot
214 sequencing is the default.
217 * Migrate from dpatch to quilt for patch management:
218 - build-depend on quilt (>= 0.40)
219 - provide patch and unpatch targets in debian/rules. use custom
220 patch targets to allow for separate debian/patches and
221 debian/startpar/patches patch series
222 - keep .dpatch file extenstion to make checking changes easier
223 - add debian/README.source to describe patch system we use
224 * Purge debian/patches/12_doc_lastb.dpatch and
225 debian/patches/68_init_quiet.dpatch, they were never applied and wrong.
226 * Update patch header for all remaining patches.
227 * Call dpkg-shlibdeps debian/startpar/startpar for sysvinit-utils package
228 and not sysvinit, startpar moved in revision 2.86.ds1-62.
229 * Remove checkdir, checkroot and buildfromsvn targets from
230 debian/rules. The latter is unused by current maintainers and the
231 former can be replaced with dh_testdir and dh_testroot instead.
232 * Fix reject hunk of debian/patches/70_compiler_warnings.dpatch to
233 fix another compile warning.
234 * Make sure update-rc.d compares command line parameters for start/stop
235 runlevel configuration with the Default-Start and Default-Stop values in
236 LSB info comment of script and warns if there are differences.
237 * Update sysv-rc debconf templates with text which help explain
238 dependency based boot to end users, and provide sound advice for
239 people who encounter problems which prevent the migration.
240 * Update inittab.kfreebsd-gnu: On GNU/kFreeBSD the serial devices have
241 change from /dev/cuuaX to /dev/ttydX in kernel 6.0 which is minumum
242 kernel currently supported in Debian. (Closes: #544555)
243 * Make sure sysv-rc/etc/init.d/rc checks insserv has reordered boot
244 system by checking for /etc/init.d/.depend.* when CONCURRENCY=shell
245 too. (Closes: #544565)

248 * Adjust init.d/bootlogd dependencies to start before hostname,
249 procps, pcmcia, hwclock, hwclockfirst, hibernate-clean and hdparm,
250 to get the bootlogger started earlier in the boot (Closes: #538936).
251 * Extend the update-rc.d(8) manual page to document the new behaviour.
252 Do not install translated update-rc.d manual pages until they
253 are updated to reflect this.
254 * Use versioned conflict on chkconfig (<< 11.0-79.1-2), now that it
255 dropped the service command (Closes: #541727).
256 * Drop unneeded dependency rmnologin from init.d/stop-bootlogd, and
257 correct $remote_fs dependency to $local_fs, as /usr/ is not aused.
258 * Drop unneeded dependency on udev for init.d/bootlogs, and add ldm
259 and sdm to list of display managers to start after to get the
261 * Extend boot order migration check to reject migration if init.d
262 scripts from removed but not purged packages are present.
263 * Add $syslog as a dependency for init.d/skeleton, as it should
264 be used in the normal case.
265 * Change init.d/urandom dependency from $local_fs to $remote_fs, as
266 it uses /usr/bin/find to handle locally increased pool size
268 * Drop initscripts conflict on insserv (<< 1.09.0-12), now that
269 sysv-rc depend on insserv (>> 1.12.0-10).
270 * Drop initscripts conflict on udev (<< 0.080-1), which was
271 before the current oldstable was released.
272 * Drop initscripts conflict on usplash (<< 0.5.8-2), which was
273 before the current stable was released.
274 * Remove code in init.d/killprocs to restart /sbin/update, as it is
275 only useful for kernels up to linux 2.2, which is no longer
276 supported (Closes: #544249). Thanks to Marco d'Itri for the tip.
277 * Update Standards-Version from 3.8.2 to 3.8.3. No changes needed.
278 * Add code in initscripts.postrm to remove rc settings for init.d
279 scripts on removal to follow policy and keep lintian happy, even

1297 * Now that mtab is properly updated by mtab.sh before mountall.sh,
1298 there is no need to have special handling of proc file systems.
1299 Remove the code from mountall.sh. (Closes: #359651)
1300 * Only kill processes using remote file systems before trying to
1301 umount them, if fuser from the psmisc package is available, and
1302 move sendsigs to a point between where remote and local file systems
1303 are umounted. Recommend psmisc for package initscripts.
1304 (Closes: #258420, #367944)
1305 * Add conditional dependency on glibc for hostname.sh and
1306 mountkernfs.sh, to allow the glibc warnings to show up without
1307 anything running in parallel.
1308 * Change default PATH in initscripts and init to prefer sbin/ over
1309 bin/, to avoid picking user visible replacement for system
1310 binaries. This avoids shutdown problems on some
1311 machines. (Closes: #354163)

1439 and the installer no longer need it. Add a init.d script if you
1440 need the functionallity.

1442 file system to update /etc/mtab, and should thus depend on
1443 checkroot, not mountall.
1444 * Move mtab to rcS.d/S12mtab.sh, to make sure it is the first script

1452 * Modify update-rc.d to run properly with perl error checking enabled.
1453 * Add support for parsing LSB headers in update-rc.d, and use the
1454 runlevel information in the default-start and default-stop headers
1455 if they are present. Document this in update-rc.d(8). This can
1456 be used instead of the 'multiuser' extention in Ubuntu, by setting

1821 FSCKTYPES="ext2,msdos" to fsck only file system types ext2 and msdos
1822 See fsck(8) for syntax. FSCKTYPES="none" disables fsck of file

1842 #295850. Note that debianutils also has to be >= 2.12.0 so that the
1843 "which" program is available in /bin.

2228 * When remounting "/", just use "mount -n -o remount,rw /" and don't
2229 bother with the device or other arguments - "mount" will look up the
2230 root device in /etc/fstab, but the device argument to the mount
2231 system call is ignored by the kernel for remount anyway. So this
2232 doesn't hurt even if the device is incorrect, and it fixes a
2233 platform dependant case where "mount -n -o remount,rw <whatever> /"
2234 fails with "mount: you must specify the filesystem type". That
2235 is a bug in mount(8): if you don't specify the type, it passes
2236 garbage to the kernel, and some archs choke on that.
2238 * change checkroot.sh so that it never checks the root filesystem
2239 if root is on NFS even if fs_passno is set (closes: #240470)

2261 * Support for root on devices with a dynamic major, such as
2262 LVM and partitionable RAID. If the root device in /etc/fstab doesn't
2263 match up with the actual root device, we try to create a temporary
2264 device node in /dev/shm/root so fsck and remount rw can be done.
2265 * Use lstat() instead of stat() in the mountpoint(8) utility.
2266 * Fix checkroot devfs behaviour.
2267 * Hmm, /usr/bin/test -w works to check if a filesystem is readonly,
2268 but bash's built-in doesn't. Work-around with touch -a.
2269 * /lib/init/readlink was completely broken, argh. Fixed borkenness.
2270 Also changed behaviour so that readlink -ff is equivalent to realpath,
2271 and -f doesn't insist on the path being a symlink. (closes: #238611)
2272 * Removed one more init_setenv debug message from init.c
2273 * Move mountpoint and readlink to initscripts, so that initscripts
2274 doesn't have to depend on a specific version of sysvinit anymore
2276 * Make initscripts non-essential (needed for Hurd) (closes: #219969).

2307 Perhaps we should remove the symlink - I'm not sure.

2485 /var/run/utmp (group utmp) could trick the "shutdown" command into

2487 exploits for setgroup-id-utmp programs).

2875 * Now confirms to policy manual 2.4.0.0
2876 * Change behaviour of reboot(1) and halt(1) so that the default when
2877 the runlevel can't be determined is to call shutdown.
2878 * Updated README and skeleton
2879 * Depends on new dpkg for the new update-rc.d
2880 * Added re-exec patch from Al Viro (21 Feb 1998):
2881 'U' flag added to telinit. It forces init to re-exec itself
2882 (passing its state through exec, certainly).
2883 May be useful for smoother (heh) upgrades.
2885 did_boot made global and added to state - thanks, Miquel.
2886 Yet another file descriptors leak - close state pipe if
2888 * Now no longer contains mdutils.sh and conflicts with older mdutils
2889 * /etc/rc.S/*.sh scripts that use set -e or exit no longer stop
2890 the whole boot process.
2892 #16082: sysvinit: filesystems do not get unmounted properly on shutdown

2901 sysvinit (2.73-2) unstable; urgency=low
2903 * Change _NSIG to NSIG for 2.1.x kernel includes.
2904 * Hopefully fixes bug 16082, but we'll see..
2906 #16622 sysvinit: should not depend on kbd

2911 sysvinit (2.73-1) unstable; urgency=low
2913 * Use siginterrupt, now that system calls are restarted by default.
2914 Main symptom was that the sulogin timeout didn't work but there
2915 might have been more hidden problems.
2916 * Kill process immidiately if turned off in inittab
2917 * Fixed sulogin check on tty arg.
2918 * Use strerror() instead of sys_errlist
2919 * Chop up the reboot and halt scripts into seperate scripts. I had to
2920 take some liberties so they are called with the argument "stop" even
2921 though the scripts are Sxx scripts .. (start scripts in runlevel 0&6
2922 seem non-intuitive anyway)
2923 * wall now supports a '-n' option to suppress [most of] the banner.
2924 Debian doesn't use sysvinit's wall, but apparently Redhat does.
2925 * Add '-F' (forcefsck) option to shutdown
2926 * Depends on kbd_0.95-2 (or higher) package for /etc/rcS.d stuff.
2927 * Close and reopen /dev/initctl on SIGUSR1 (mainly for a /dev in ram)
2928 * Add FSCKFIX option to /etc/default/rcS
2929 * Wrote rcS.5 manpage describing /etc/default/rcS
2931 #13435: Could shutdown provide a way to force fsck?
2932 #14108: sysvinit: sulogin's timeout does not work anymore
2933 #14179: sysvinit: /etc/init.d/(halt|reboot) need to call mdstop
2934 #14357: sysvinit: typo errors into script shells
2935 #15010: shutdown is too fast
2936 #15405: sysvinit: changelog uncompressed
2937 #15751: "sulogin -t <timeout>" does not time out
2938 #15758: Outdated reference in README
