Package: sysv-rc Version: 2.86.ds1-20 Followup-For: Bug #387894
and so I installed bootsplash... the accompanying sysv-rc-bootsplash patches /etc/init.d/rc. Now I found that this script already includes support for usplash and splashutils (progress bar). Problem: I feel that this is not the right place to handle the progress bar. Wish: Please consider just generic support for progress bar and let some glue code (belonging to the splash package) handle the actual update. Suggestion: source interface code from /etc/alternatives/splash, actual scripts resides in /sbin interface: progress_init() - initialize progress bar progress_update() - called after each startup script progress_done() - called at end the glue code can figure out the runlevel and the percentage done by itself. benefit: generic code doesn't clutter rc script, resolves bug #388838 drawback: coordination required Joerg Zastrau -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
