No qingy is a replacement for mingetty, or for the vt portion of agetty. Qingy does not replace true getty. getty on a debian system is actually agetty, which supports both dumb modem connections and VTs.Hello, The application I want to package, qingy, is in fact a replacement for getty and it needs to modify /etc/inittab.
Real getty supports ony serial lines (dumb modems). Quingy and mingetty only work for VTs.Nevertheless, you can use quingy as a drop-in replacement for debian's getty if you are not using serial terminals.
Just wanted to chime in.
