Yes, I actually meant "SysV init scripts", not necessarily the SysV init package itself; OpenRC still works with SysV init scripts AFAIUI, so from the point of view of package maintainers it doesn't lead to duplication in the same way as "provide an upstart script AND a systemd unit AND a SysV init script does". > Whether you choose to think of that as meaning we have 3 or 2 after a > transition interval is debatable. Right, and I don't want to quibble over that. In that sense we already support classic sysvinit and startpar, but they don't use different startup scripts in packages. > If your real point is "pick systemd *or* upstart and don't try to > assert that we should support both", I can easily agree with that. That indeed is my main point. Thanks! Martin -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org)
