It is amazing how people fail to read previous work... I have been sitting
down and watching people go over the same arguments and hitting the same
trapdoors I describe in that paper. There are lots of stuff in the archives
for debian-devel, as well.
Maybe I should have posted the abstract?
This paper describes the System V, OpenBSD / FreeBSD, NetBSD and Debian 3.0
init script systems. Some new proposals made by third-parties for init
script systems are also described, with emphasis on Richard Gooch's
simpleinit system. The system init script abstraction and policy layer
currently being deployed in Debian for the release after 3.0 is described in
detail. Changes to that abstraction layer are proposed to allow for
dependency-based init script systems in Debian.
