These mark the following three items as accepted; I proposed or
seconded all of them.
Please remember to use the BTS to mark the status of proposals!
> FHS-compliant location of compiled examples (#42849)
> * Old.
> * Proposed by Joey Hess; seconded by Julian Gilbey and Chris Waters.
> * This is a proposal for dealing with architecture-specific example
> files. The idea is to put them in /usr/lib/package/examples, with
> symlink(s) as necessary to make /usr/share/doc/package/examples
> point to them.
> ( The main objection is that there may not be any files of this
> type. /usr/doc/samba-doc/examples/examples/validchars/msdos70.out
> does seem to be one. )
>
> Correct section 3.3 to take account of file-rc (#41547)
> * Old.
> * Proposed by Julian Gilbey; seconded by Roland Rosenfeld and
> Anthony Towns.
> * Part of policy doesn't make sense if file-rc is being used. This
> proposal is to clean it up so it does make sense, and moreover so
> it emphasizes that update-rc.d is the only thing that should be
> used to register init scripts.
>
> Policy still suggests /etc/rc.boot instead of /etc/rcS.d (#32448)
> * Accepted.
> * Proposed on 26 Jan 1999 by Brian Servis; seconded by Julian Gilbey
> and Joey Hess.
> * Change policy to refer to /etc/rcS.d instead of the old
> /etc/rc.boot/
