Hello! Here are a few notes I've made when looking at making util-linux take over the eject utility, which as I understand it there are consensus on doing.
* Shipped tools Apart from /usr/bin/eject, the eject package also ships: /usr/lib/eject/dmcrypt-get-device /usr/bin/volname dmcrypt-get-device seems unused according to my searches on codesearch.debian.net. volname is harder to do good searches for, but I've tried to dive inte the results and found only one user so far. See http://bugs.debian.org/787425 Since dkopp seems to gracefully handle that volname does not exist, I've not marked it as a blocker. * udeb The eject package builds the eject-udeb package, which util-linux will need to provide. (Another option would be to ship it inside util-linux-udeb but that would probably need coordination with the installer team.) The eject utility from util-linux will also bring a dependency on libmount, which currently has no udeb. This needs to be added as well. Should hopefully not be an issue... (famous last words?) * translations make sure to include template and translations from old package. debian/eject-udeb.templates, debian/po, etc. See: man dh_installdebconf * Other things to consider debian/eject-udeb.postinst -- some comments on exactly what purpose this serves would be welcomed.... Patches welcome ofcourse! :) Regards, Andreas Henriksson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
