Hi guys, A new initscripts package is in testing, please test and signoff. Some changes that might potentially cause problems: * We no longer call mdadm, as this is dealt with by udev * We no longer copy rule files from /dev/.udev on boot, as this is dealt with by udev * We no longer run depmod on boot, as this should be done by the respective packages, and is anyway done to late to make a difference on boot * We dropped several very old workarounds for bugs in other packages * We make hwclock drift adjustment into a daemon (defaults to enabled on fresh installs), as it causes more problems than it solves (especially if using dual-boot or ntp) * We have a new maintainer Other changes worth noting: * got a helperscript, rc, that allows to start/stop and list daemons * default to RTC being in UTC, strongly discourage localtime * support FakeRAID (dmraid) * support btrfs * support /run (and use it where relevant) * support forcefsck as a kernel parameter * allow the verbosity level to be configured in rc.conf * various cleanups all around Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release! Andrea Scarpino (1): Use dhcpcd -k instead of kill Dan McGee (1): Remove MOD_BLACKLIST from rc.conf Dave Reisner (5): PKGBUILD: remove unnecessary depends whitespace cleanup use bash's kill builtin instead of /bin/kill network: cleanup variable declarations rc.sysinit: condense calls to rm Eric Bélanger (1): Added missing else clause in set_consolefont function Kurt J.
