Policy indicates that if other packages should be able to modify /etc/inittab, sysvinit should provide a script that does those modifications. Such a script should, at least on first glance, be reasonably straightforward for the sorts of modifications I suspect people will want to make (just adding or removing lines). That would help the runit situation as well. When doing this sort of thing, though, please don't assume that there will be an /etc/inittab or that sysvinit will necessarily be installed, since we want to enable sysadmins to choose upstart or systemd or some other init system in the future. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
