The nbd-generator depended on a bit of upstream code that I found the time to write this week; see http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/wouter/nbd.git/commit/?h=master&id=42422d76e4d0455f3cdfe639f87a6232de31120d and http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/wouter/nbd.git/commit/?h=master&id=950f7c3165404cf1e7d1b30289f9d34aef25bc7a
What's left to close this bug: - Update nbd-client's debconf configuration so it generates nbdtab files rather than /etc/nbd-client shell script snippets - Write something to support upgrades from jessie which converts pre-existing shell script snippets into nbdtab files (except if AUTO_GEN is set to 'n', in which case we simply produce an error message). - Write a systemd nbd-generator - Update the init script so it starts nbd-client connections using nbdtab files rather than shell script snippets, so that non-systemd systems continue to work. -- It is easy to love a country that is famous for chocolate and beer -- Barack Obama, speaking in Brussels, Belgium, 2014-03-26
