Can it be a goal for woody? Please? :) That would mean implementing whatever the LSB standards require right now as a debian policy, and changing it again later when the LSB publishes the finished version. I've had a look on what they have there, and it would require some work to implement the stuff in Debian. It goes well beyond making sure all init scripts return status 0 on OK ;-) And some of our init scripts ARE a mess. Thankfully most of them are not that bad, but still... It is doable, but is it worth the hassle to require those changes _right now_ and require them again later when LSB compliance becomes a goal? -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
