I didn't know about this metainit thing and it looks awesome. http://wiki.debian.org/MetaInit So we already have a system that generates startup files for both sysvinit and upstart.... ... what about extending it to also support systemd? We can later request all maintainers to port the startup scripts of their respective packages to metainit via a new debian standard-version and also with lintian warnings if a startup script other than the metainit one is detected on the package. This can be the solution we are looking to tie together the different init systems. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez http://neutrino.es Igalia - Free Software Engineering http://www.igalia.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
