There was some work on getting the current init scripts updated to include special comment to allow parallel init script schemes(init-ng?) but those would again require signifigant testing (and discussion) to be used. By comparison, Ubuntu's structure allows for these decisions to be made top-down and the developer who created it is a key member of ubuntu and thus has a signifgant power to make its use manditory. It is being phased in to ubuntu. In a recent(in the last week) articles he says that breezy and fiesty had some elements but still has unconverted bits. So even if Debian wanted it, its not sufficiently tested or completed. -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal |mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/| | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net | my NPO: cfsg.org | |join the new debian-community.org to help Debian! | |_______ Unless I ask to be CCd, assume I am subscribed _______|
