Bug#771825: release-notes: Update information on non-systemd Jessie upgrades and installations
Hi again Svante,
On closer look of the proposed patch, I feel the tone is not right.
Text like
apt-get dist-upgrade Wheezy to Jessie will get systemd-sysv installed, and
sysvinit will be history!! Otherwise you need to install sysvinit-core on next
reboot (if your system boots).
is not suitable for our release notes. The release notes should emphasise
default or very common scenarios. We assume most of our users to go with our
new default choice of systemd. Those preferring other init systems might in
general be better helped by e.g. pointing to a wiki page. I agree with what
Osamu Aoki wrote on december 3, in slightly different context.
However, if you can supply _short_ and _simple_ instructions on how to upgrade
and keep the previously selected init-system, such instructions are likely
suitable.
I was a bit put off by your use of "!!". I believe the 2 quoted sentences
could better be dropped. Care to minimise and adjust the patch? Sorry for not
raising this earlier.
Bye,
Joost
