Control: tags -1 patch Hi, Dixit Michael Biebl, le 10/07/2016 : >The upstart init system has been removed from unstable/testing, so it >looks like it won't be part of the upcoming stretch release. >I raised this issue on debian-devel [1] and one recommendation was, >that this fact should be mentioned in the release notes. We should >suggest that users switch to a supported alternative because >post-stretch it's likely that maintainers start removing native >upstart jobs. I write a section about it and I put it in the end of the Issues chapter. Please comment and correct. (I could commit in some weeks if nobody disagree) Baptiste

+ <para>Due to the lack of upstream maintainers,
+ the Upstart init system has been removed from &Releasename;.
+ If your system relies on this package, you should note that it will not be updated
+ during the lifetime of &debian; &release;,
+ and starting from &debian; &nextrelase; (&Nextreleasename;),
+ upstart jobs could be removed from packages.

+ You should also consider a switch to a supported init system, like systemd or openrc.
