[Petter Reinholdtsen] > Hi. Any progress on your plan to package readahead-list?
I got a draft package based on the Ubuntu version 1:0.20050517.0220-0ubuntu11, and plan to upload it today unless I hear from you. I added LSB headers to the init.d scripts to get it working with insserv. One thing that occur to me is that the package names in the ubuntu package contain some historical cruft, and we might want to reconsider the package names in Debian. The source package is called readahead-list, and it generates two binary packages readahead and readahead-list. The latter is a transition package only pulling in readahead. There should be no need for a transition package in Debian. On the other hand, it does not make sense to let the readahead-list source package only generate the readahead package, so it might make more sense to drop readahead and only make a readahead-list binary package. It all depends on the scopes defined for the packages, I guess. As Ubuntu might be seen as upstream for this package, it make sense to avoid needless divergence from the Ubuntu package. This is an argument for keeping readahead as the binary package with content. One could also generate one binary package providing both the names, to ease upgrades. One thing to consider is that some people compiled readahead on their own and are already using it. Popularity-contest report 8 installations of readahead, and none of readahead-list. To ease their upgrade path, it is best to let the binary be called readahead. Here is the diff with the LSB headers. diff -u readahead-list-0.20050517.0220/debian/readahead.init readahead-list-0.20050517.0220/debian/readahead.init --- readahead-list-0.20050517.0220/debian/readahead.init +++ readahead-list-0.20050517.0220/debian/readahead.init @@ -1,5 +1,13 @@ #!/bin/sh -e -# init script for readahead +### BEGIN INIT INFO +# Provides: readahead +# Required-Start: +# Required-Stop: +# X-Start-Before: mountkernfs hostname +# Default-Start: S +# Default-Stop: +# Short-Description: init script for readahead +### END INIT INFO # Check the package is still installed [ -x /sbin/readahead-list ] || exit 0 diff -u readahead-list-0.20050517.0220/debian/readahead-desktop.init readahead-list-0.20050517.0220/debian/readahead-desktop.init --- readahead-list-0.20050517.0220/debian/readahead-desktop.init +++ readahead-list-0.20050517.0220/debian/readahead-desktop.init @@ -1,5 +1,13 @@ #!/bin/sh -e -# init script for readahead (second stage) +### BEGIN INIT INFO +# Provides: readahead-desktop +# Required-Start: $local_fs readahead +# Required-Stop: +# X-Start-Before: $network +# Default-Start: S +# Default-Stop: +# Short-Description: init script for readahead (second stage) +### END INIT INFO # Check the package is still installed [ -x /sbin/readahead-list ] || exit 0 diff -u readahead-list-0.20050517.0220/debian/stop-readahead.init readahead-list-0.20050517.0220/debian/stop-readahead.init --- readahead-list-0.20050517.0220/debian/stop-readahead.init +++ readahead-list-0.20050517.0220/debian/stop-readahead.init @@ -1,5 +1,12 @@ #!/bin/sh -e -# init script for stopping readahead profiling +### BEGIN INIT INFO +# Provides: stop-readahead +# Required-Start: $all readahead-desktop +# Required-Stop: +# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 +# Default-Stop: +# Short-Description: init script for stopping readahead profiling +### END INIT INFO # Check the package is still installed [ -x /sbin/readahead-list ] || exit 0 Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
