Hi guys,
As you can see below, util-linux-24 will contain most of the tools from sysvinit-tools. I therefore intend to propose that we drop sysvinit-tools once util-linux-24 is out.
If anyone have any objections or concerns, this would be the perfect time to speak up, so we can sort out any problems before the release.
I think ppp uses 'pidof' in some scripts. pidof is similar to pgrep, but not quite the same. The other remaining tools (bootlogd, fstab-decode, killall5) seem to serve no purpose anymore.
Relevant thread here:
Good to know. So it looks like procps-ng will adopt pidof, so we should wait for that before dropping sysvinit-tools completely. Cheers, Tom
