Hi Gerrit,

Please try 'apt-get install --reinstall runit', and check again whether the git-daemon service is activated properly. If not, please post the output of

You don't get the point - I don't want to have runit installed at all. Why should another package be installed to do what the /etc/init.d/git-daemon file and sysvinit package would already provide on their own? runit would be superfluous.

Honestly, I don't see the need for the git-daemon-run package at all.

git-core should provide /etc/init.d/git-daemon, and have a /etc/default/git-daemon file with some kind of flag to specify if the daemon is actually run. Just like many other packages:

/etc/default/apache2:

  # 0 = start on boot; 1 = don't start on boot
  NO_START=0

/etc/default/apt-cacher

  # set to 1 to start the daemon at boot time
  AUTOSTART=1

/etc/default/bootlogd:

  # Run bootlogd at startup ?
  BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=No

/etc/default/dbus

  # Whether or not to run the dbus system daemon; set to 0 to disable.
  ENABLED=1

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ egrep -i -c '(start)|(enable)' /etc/default/* | grep -v :0
  /etc/default/acpid:2
  /etc/default/apache2:2
  /etc/default/apt-cacher:3
  /etc/default/bootlogd:2
  /etc/default/dbus:2
  /etc/default/dbus-1:2
  /etc/default/exim4:3
  /etc/default/gdm:1
  /etc/default/hotplug:2
  /etc/default/lprng:2
  /etc/default/mpd:2
  /etc/default/pootle:2
  /etc/default/rcS:2
  /etc/default/rsync:5
  /etc/default/slapd:5
  /etc/default/util-vserver:5

And I don't see any apache2-run, mdc-run, dbus-run cvs-server, cvs-run packages anywhere.

There is already a well-established way for handling daemons, which although not perfect has no major holes and is *known* by administrators. Why force such a change?

Regards,
Mark.
