Hi I would like to adopt and maintain the 'sysvinit' package from Sergey Okhapkin.
o ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/people/miquels/sysvinit/ (Homepage) o ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/people/miquels/sysvinit/sysvinit-2.86.tar.gz (Download location) ***** Important ***** This package contains /usr/bin/last (/usr/share/man/man1/last.1.gz) which collide with the same named files from utils-linux-2.13.1-1. I would recommend removing them from util-linux. The cygwin version of last from sysvinit-2.86 lacks IPv6 support although the official version supports it. IPv6 support will be enabled when we're ready for it. Here is the setup.hint file: sdesc: "A System-V Init Clone" ldesc: "Init is the parent of all processes. Its primary role is to create processes from a script stored in the file /etc/inittab (see inittab(5)). This file usually has entries which cause init to spawn gettys on each line that users can log in. It also controls autonomous processes required by any particular system." category: System requires: cygwin bash coreutils -------------------------------- cut here ------------------------------------ #!/bin/bash mkdir sysvinit cd sysvinit wget http://volkerzell.de/cygwin/ITP/sysvinit/setup.hint wget http://volkerzell.de/cygwin/ITP/sysvinit/sysvinit-2.86-1-src.tar.bz2 wget http://volkerzell.de/cygwin/ITP/sysvinit/sysvinit-2.86-1.tar.bz2 -------------------------------- cut here ------------------------------------ Ciao Volker
