[arch-dev-public] Dropping sysvinit-tools
The next release of procps-ng will contain pidof and clash with sysvinit-tools. The obvious decision is to use the maintained source of pidof. At this point, we'll be left with 3 binaries in sysvinit-tools, all which I propose are all obsolete: fstab-decode, killall5, and bootlogd. I'm open to arguments against this, but I suggest we drop sysvinit-tools after pidof is part of a release from procps-ng. Cheers, Dave

fstab-decode
We never used this anywhere.
killall5
This was only ever used in initscripts and its functionality has been obsoleted by systemd-shutdown.
bootlogd.
Obsoleted by the journal and the existence of /run. Logging what's printed on the screen during boot is entirely obsolete.

Sounds great.

It's now in [testing].

Let's do that once procps-ng-3.3.9-1 lands in [core]. -- Gaetan

Done.
It's one of those little things that improve Arch. Dropping sysvinit entirely is another step into the future.
