[...] > By comparison, upstart is effectively used only by Ubuntu, [...] Both of these statements are incorrect. I'm sure that somewhere in the many vast threads that we've had over the init system, someone pointed out to me that Google's Chromium OS and Chrome OS use upstart. Now that I've been reminded of this, I think Steve also mentioned it in the discussion of how upstart's upstream and packaging development were handled. However, it had completely dropped out of my mind and I was unaware of it while writing the above statements. I apologize for the misrepresentation. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
