Gerrit,
This package is either *very* broken, or very mis-named. I installed
git-daemon-run expecting to have a working git server, in the same way as
one would install exim4-daemon, or apache, or any other network service.
I would not expect when installing this package that I have to completely
replace the init system. Especially an init system that is so completely
broken like runit. The install of runit doesn't even result in a
working/changed init, and instructions to do so (which are on a web-site
no less - not even in the package) have six steps of which the last is
# mv /sbin/init /sbin/init.sysv
# ln -s runit-init /sbin/init
Now colour me purple, but the last thing that any administrator of a
Debian system wants to do is go moving package-managed binaries around.
What happens when you remove runit? You get a system that won't boot.
By the way, I'm on a "standard" Debian system (not a vserver).
If the "the whole and single purpose of the git-daemon-run package is to
provide a runit service." then please rename this package to
git-daemon-runit or similar and specify in the package description
specifically that it involves a change of init. Or else create git-daemon
package that will work for *any* init system (without depending on a
particular one).
Actually, I think I'll go bug the 'git' maintainer to put an init.d script
in his package.
Mark.
