Hey guys!
Do anybody have any idea about upstart to replace systemV in sid: the next
release.
By default? Probably not going to happen. Upstart lost out to systemd in
the tech-ctte vote.
If it is not so, how can one manually have systemd or whatever replaced by
upstart, without trouble.
While upstart lost out to systemd in the vote, it did so by only one
vote which implies that upstart is (or was) a well respected init
system. You should be able to install upstart (which is one of the
providers^Wdependencies of the "init" metapackage) and have it supplant
systemd.
You should probably be aware, though, that sysv (lowest common
denominator) and systemd (new default) will probably have more init
scripts than upstart. If you find a package that won't start because it
has a systemd service, but neither a sysv script nor an upstart job,
then that's probably worthy of a bug report.
