I have taken Bdale's text, reformatted it a bit, and added the GR rider and the multiple init systems rider texts.
For the GR rider I used the version from my previous standalone proposal. I see Bdale has a different text in git. I'll discuss that in a moment. For the multiple init systems rider I used my original text for the first sentence and Don's formulation for the second sentence. I have also added an explicit option for declining to decide and asking the project to do it via GR. I think such an option would be much better than FD. Below is the result. This in principle results in 9 real options plus FD. I'm going to call the options by the subsets of the text they use: D DM U UM O OM V VM GR and of course FD I think we can probably leave out one of each of O OM V VM. If anyone has a preference for O and V over OM and VM please say so. I think O and V are probably sufficient for those options, as the desire to support multiple systems there is probably obvious so doesn't need saying. That would leave us with 7 real options which isn't too unmanageable. The text below is in the tc git repo. I'm going to follow up in a moment with a formal action to propose a resolution, starting the constitutional discussion period. Ian. == version D (systemD) == The default init system for Linux architectures in jessie should be systemd. == version U (Upstart) == The default init system for Linux architectures in jessie should be upstart. == version O (Openrc) == The default init system for Linux architectures in jessie should be openrc == version V (sysVinit) == The default init system for Linux architectures in jessie should be sysvinit (no change). == version GR (General Resolution) == The Technical Committee requests that the project decide the default init system for jessie by means of General Resolution. == optional rider M (Multiple init systems) == Debian intends to support multiple init systems, for the foreseeable future, and so long as their respective communities and code remain healthy. Where feasible, software should interoperate with non-default init systems; maintainers are encouraged to accept technically sound patches to enable interoperation, even if it results in degraded operation while running under the init system the patch enables interoperation with. == rider for all versions except GR == This decision is automatically vacated by any contrary General Resolution which passes by a simple majority. In that case the General Resolution takes effect and the whole of this TC resolution is to be taken as withdrawn by the TC, just as if the TC had explicitly withdrawn it by a subsequent TC resolution. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
