#177761 — sysvinit - call for testers of 2.88dsf-59.9

If you are running testing (stretch) and using sysvinit, I'd
appreciate it if you could install the new sysvinit packages from
unstable (sid).

This version, 2.88dsf-59.9, is a rather-late update to fix some bugs
which are important for stretch.

In particular, I would like to know whether this sysvinit works with a
fresh sid install with merged-/usr.

The relevant binary packages are these:

  bootlogd-dbgsym_2.88dsf-59.9_ARCH.deb
  bootlogd_2.88dsf-59.9_ARCH.deb
  initscripts_2.88dsf-59.9_ARCH.deb
  sysv-rc_2.88dsf-59.9_all.deb
  sysvinit-core-dbgsym_2.88dsf-59.9_ARCH.deb
  sysvinit-core_2.88dsf-59.9_ARCH.deb
  sysvinit-utils-dbgsym_2.88dsf-59.9_ARCH.deb
  sysvinit-utils_2.88dsf-59.9_ARCH.deb

The builds for ARCH=amd64 are in sid right now.  The builds for other
arches will be available from the buildds soon, I think.

The changelog, which shows the changes I'm particularly keen to have
tested, is below.

If I get favourable test reports I will ask the Debian release team
for a freeze exception so that these bugs can be fixed in stretch.

Thanks,
Ian.

sysvinit (2.88dsf-59.9) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * Mark sysvinit-utils as Multi-Arch: foreign, like sysv-rc and initscripts.

  [ Michael Biebl ]
  * Demote priority of sysv-rc and initscripts to optional.

  [ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
  * Avoid remounting tmpfs, linprocfs and linsysfs on kFreeBSD
    (Closes: #833687).  These file systems are not remountable.  The
    change avoid a warning from mount.  Based on Patch from Jon Boden.

  [ Ian Jackson ]
  * Add myself to Uploaders, as part of adopting the package.
    Closes:#811377 (RFA bug).
  * Add Benda Xu to Uploaders, as requested in #811377.

  [ Ben Hutchings ]
  * Keep /usr mounted read-only on shutdown (Closes: #757083)

Thanks to those who replies already.  I have had favourable test
reports for usrmerge[1] and a normal install with / and /usr on the
same filesystem, including some new stretch installs.

[1] usrmerge means binaries and libraries have been moved to /usr and
  /{bin,lib,sbin} are symlinks to /usr/{bin,lib,sbin} respectively.

I'm still lacking a test report for a system where /usr is a separate
filesystem, if anyone has one running stretch that they are willing to
test this package on.  (See my previous email for the list of binary
packages and versions etc.)

Thanks,
Ian.

Hi Ian, I ran your test, just so you know I have /user on root.
# uname -a
Linux jimmy-1 4.9.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.6-3 (2017-01-28) x86_64 
GNU/Linux

Before your patch: # cat /proc/1/comm
systemd

After your patch: # cat /proc/1/comm
init

So I am now running an init system with no ill effects and my system is 
not trying to change the way it's running when I run "upgrade-system" 
and that is a good thing.

regards,

Thanks for the report.  I'm not sure exactly what you did, but I think
that your computer no longer wants to switch from systemd to sysvinit
is not due to anything in my recent upload.  (Unless, just possibly,
this is due to the new multiarch changes and your system is
mixed-arch?)

But I'm glad to hear that things are more like you want them to be.

Regards,
Ian.

#177793

Hi,

on a laptop with testing, updated init packages, and freshly rebooted, the
priority of the packages is still "required":

# cat /proc/1/comm
init

$ mount -t ext4
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,lazytime)
/dev/sda2 on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,lazytime)

$ dpkg -s sysvinit-utils | grep -E '(Version|Priority|Multi-Arch)'
Priority: required
Multi-Arch: foreign
Version: 2.88dsf-59.9

$ dpkg -s sysv-rc | grep -E '(Version|Priority|Multi-Arch)'
Priority: required
Multi-Arch: foreign
Version: 2.88dsf-59.9

$ dpkg -s initscripts | grep -E '(Version|Priority|Multi-Arch)'
Priority: required
Multi-Arch: foreign
Version: 2.88dsf-59.9

Regards,
jvp.

Only effects systems with separate partition for /usr ?
