[arch-dev-public] [signoff] initscripts-2011.05.1-1
Hi guys, There is a new initscripts release. Please test and signoff. **** Mainly bugfix release Changes: * rename /sbin/rc to /sbin/rc.d to avoid PATH conflict * drop very old deprecated setting of uevent_helper * mount /dev/pts and /dev/shm with standard options in case they are not in fstab Features: * use bootlogd to record the output from boot * make it possible to symlink /var/{run,lock} to /run/{,lock} (this is not done automatically) Workarounds: * symlink the old /var/run/daemons to /run/daemons (this should not be necessary but broken rc.d scripts rely on it) * reinstate the copying of persistent udev rules from /run to /etc (this will go away one day due to upstream changes)

The symlink ends up being at /var/run/daemons/daemons.

Right you are. I'll wait a bit before I push a new version in case there are other things I need to fix as well. Thanks for testing! Cheers, Tom

Minor thing: the help of the newly renamed rc.d script still refers to the script as just "rc". I guess $0 should probably be used instead. -- Gaetan

I have a pending patch from Seblu to fix this, it got dropped accidentally. Will include it in the next update (probably tomorrow). Cheers, Tom
