<Laibsch> Keybuk: May I kindly request you upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/48517 from Wishlist to High Importance? <Keybuk> Laibsch: no; as mentioned in that bug, we've never supported swap on files <Laibsch> Keybuk: As mentioned in the replies, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance <Laibsch> This cannot be anything but High. <Laibsch> The fix you choose is up to you. But I cannot see there is any doubt about the importance of this one. * Hobbsee notes that the importance doesnt really matter - it's whether it gets fixed or not <Keybuk> Laibsch: of course it can <Keybuk> it's wishlist <Keybuk> we have never supported this configuration <Keybuk> we provide no tools to put your system into this configuration <Laibsch> Keybuk: Also, what about the patch that is supplied? No good? <Keybuk> this configuration has never worked (unless by accident) <Keybuk> it certainly does not work in dapper <Keybuk> therefore this is not a regression either <Laibsch> Keybuk: nano is not supported? <Keybuk> Laibsch: you can nano /dev/hda1 and write garbage -- that doesn't mean we should support you when you can't mount your filesystem <cjwatson> Laibsch: for future reference, patches should be submitted as unified diffs (diff -u) <Keybuk> from the page you quote ... <Keybuk> Wishlist: a request to add a new feature to one of the programs in Ubuntu <cjwatson> the normal diff format is practically useless <Keybuk> "new feature" => supporting swap files (instead of partitions) <Laibsch> cjwatson: I would change the patch if I knew how. I had trouble applying it myself. <Keybuk> please don't get too religious about the importance of a bug <Keybuk> the importance is a guide for the developer, rather than the user <Keybuk> it doesn't actually mean your bug is getting any less consideration <Keybuk> in fact, for feisty I'm attempting to fix more wishlist bugs than critical ones (yes, that sounds weird) <Laibsch> Well, this one is easy to fix. A user has said he would work in it to fix it. Still it has been sitting around for ages. (and it is important IMNSHO ;-)) * rob ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/staff/rob) has joined #ubuntu-devel <Laibsch> on it <Keybuk> Laibsch: how easy a bug is to fix, or how long it has been open, have no bearing on things <mjg59> Laibsch: This bug isn't the only thing blocking swapfile support <mjg59> Using swapfiles currently breaks hibernate <cjwatson> Laibsch: given that most of our initscripts are going to be thrown away and totally redone from scratch in an entirely different way in feisty ... <Laibsch> Keybuk: Why not accept the input from the user who said he would help out? <Keybuk> you'll note that release goals for the last three ubuntu releases have included major changes to the startup and shutdown sequences, as well as the method of mounting filesystems <Keybuk> this is, as a whole, something that is being worked on (tm) <Keybuk> Laibsch: because as Colin points out, we've pretty much throwing away all the init scripts for feisty -- spending time now to try and fix that in the current initscripts system would reduce the amount of time to write the new stuff
