Package: runit Version: 2.1.2-9 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, following #861536 bug report, the package runit-init has been removed from all the suites, including Unstable, after only 10 days of discussion. I understand that the package does not fit for the incoming stable, maybe also is not good for the incoming testing, but i don't see why it has been removed that fast also from Sid. Please restore the runit-init package for Sid, reopen the #861536 and give people the proper time to discuss and address the problem.
Examples of trouble caused by the removal of runit-init: Runit and runit-init allow a more flexible use of runit, now gone Runit-init provided init reboot shutdown etc, now gone Bogatov designed a directory structure to allow target/runlevel support, now broken/uncomplete Also, there is no complete support for runit in Debian, so people are supposed to have their custom setup and this change is likely to break things (at least in my own setup). -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.8.12-van (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages runit depends on: ii libc6 2.24-10 runit recommends no packages. runit suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
