Hi, I am considering to comply with Steve's request of removing "script-calls-init-script-directly" from Lintian, so if you disagree, please voice your concerns.
The tag itself references Policy Manual 9.3.3.2, which says: """ [...]. This program [invoke-rc.d] may be used by maintainers in their packages' scripts. The package maintainer scripts must use invoke-rc.d to invoke the /etc/init.d/* initscripts, instead of calling them directly. """ Which I read as "maintainer scripts" must use it (and we have a separate tag for that) and (all other) scripts "may" (as in: "are allowed to") use "invoke-rc.d". I see no "should" or "recommended" for normal scripts in packages. (For reference) The tag description says: """ This script apparently runs an init script directly rather than using invoke-rc.d. While use of invoke-rc.d is only required for maintainer scripts, supporting the policy layer that it implements is a good idea in any script. """ On lintian.d.o there are currently ~17 emitted tags (in 9 packages and with one override). ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
