Bug#834284: RFA: insserv -- boot sequence organizer using LSB init.d script dependency information
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Following the advice in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=811377#10
I request an adopter for the insserv package, which should be taken
over along with sysvinit and startpar.
The package description is:
The insserv program is used by the standard SysV-based init system. It
updates the order of symlinks in /etc/rc?.d/ based on dependencies
specified by LSB headers in the init.d scripts themselves.
.
These declared relations between scripts make it possible to optimize
the boot sequence for the currently installed set of packages, while
detecting and rejecting dependency loops.
.
Using insserv incorrectly can result in an unbootable system.
