Starting messages should have unique style
Hi folks!
I just discovered that the start up messages of Debian don't have a unique
style. Some say
starting daemon xxx ...
(lower case `s' and dots `...') while others say
Starting network daemons: xxx
(upper case `S', colon, no dots) etc.
It would be nice if we had a "style guide" so that the different
packages could all use the same style. What do you think?
I personally would prefer the following style:
Starting crond ...
Starting network daemons: nfsd mountd
Setting up whatever
i.e. all capital letters at the beginning and either daemon name (file
name)+dots or section ('network daemons') followed by a colon and no dots.
Cheers,
Chris
