Re: Updated sysvinit package available for review/upload

the minor confusion that might be engendered by the fact that sysvinit contains section 8 manpages for programs it does not supply. (shutdown, halt, reboot, ) Plus, they probabaly are not correct with regards to the actual binaries supplied by the shutdown package.

But that's your bailiwick, Corinna, not mine.

My bad. I missed the fact that Sergey has already removed the "offending" man pages. I also missed that you had already suggested that he do this. Problem solved.


Oh, just one other thing -- a minor stylistic issue with the /etc/postinstall script. Personally, I don't like "magic morphing scripts" that behave differently if they are in /etc/postinstall or in /usr/bin. IMO, /etc/postinstall/sysvinit.sh shouldn't copy itself to /usr/bin/init-config. Instead, the parts that are actually ACTIVE when the script is in it's "init-config personality" should simply be HERE-documented into a separate script in /usr/bin.

But that's purely my opinion; others may differ. It's definitely NOT a showstopper.

Again, the ^^^^ is not a showstopper.
