Bug#993265: RFS: runit/2.1.2-42 -- system-wide service supervision

[Lorenzo Puliti <plorenzo@disroot.org>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: plorenzo@disroot.org


Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "runit":

 * Package name    : runit
   Version         : 2.1.2-42
   Upstream Author : Gerrit Pape <pape@smarden.org>
 * URL             : http://smarden.org/runit/
 * License         : BSD-3-clause, GPL-3+
 * Vcs             : https://salsa.debian.org/debian/runit
   Section         : admin

It builds those binary packages:

  runit-init - system-wide service supervision (as init system)
  getty-run - runscripts to supervise getty processes
  runit-systemd - transitional package for runit-systemd users
  runit-run - service supervision (systemd and sysv integration)
  runit - system-wide service supervision

To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/runit/

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/runit/runit_2.1.2-42.dsc

  git repo:  https://salsa.debian.org/debian/runit/-/tree/next

Changes since the last upload:

 runit (2.1.2-42) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Release to unstable
   * getty-run: add hvc0 service, disabled by default:
       this is usually needed by Xen hypervisor
   * Add a default-syslog virtual service:
       to increase portability, services that log to syslog
       can depend on this rather than on a specific
       syslog daemon
   * shutdown.c:
       - try to fix FTBFS on Hurd (Closes: #992629)
       - distinguish between halt and shutdown flags:
         The -r flag ( as reboot) now only works with shutdown;
         Add a -f flag to shutdown (skip fsck next boot);
         Add -F flag to shutdown (force fsck next boot);
         The -f (as force a shutdown) and -w/--wtmp-only flags now
          only work with halt.
         (Closes: #992631)
       - Add a -n flag to halt, to skip sync() before reboot/poweroff;
         also, always check for runit.nosync flag file before invoking
         sync()  (Closes: #992641)
       - make halt '-f' flag a noop when runit is init. This way runit
         can use its own code to reboot/poweroff the system; users
         can still use the long '--force' option to force a shutdown
         without signaling the init (Closes: #899246)
   * Update shutdown(8) manpage
   * Bump Standards Version to 4.6.0, no change required
   * Update lintian overrides for 'alternative init but not init.d script'
