[arch-general] [RFT] initscripts 2011.01-1
by Thomas Bächler 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

Okay, this has been sitting in git for a loooong time, and I am throwing it out there. This should receive lots of testing, as there has been major rewriting done. We need to make sure there are no regressions. It should also fix a small number of bugs. New known bugs: When netcfg's init scripts are called, these lines are printed: /etc/rc.d/functions: line 320: declare: add_hook: readonly variable /etc/rc.d/functions: line 320: declare: run_hook: readonly variable This happens when rc.functions is loaded twice, I'll look into fixing that. This is the shortlog: Dan McGee (1): Unify capitalization of 'Udev' Dave Reisner (2): rc.sysinit: condense calls to mkdir and chmod Use modprobe's --all flag instead of looping. Florian Pritz (1): restrict NETWORK_PERSIST to runlevel 0 and 6 Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi (1): Add support for serial console Heiko Baums (3): cryptsetup: read keys for non-root LUKS partitions as raw data from block device cryptsetup: abort if LUKS is found on swap partition cryptsetup: print name of device being opened Thomas Bächler (5): Remove a redundant subshell, see FS#20016 Fix two typos introduced by the latest patch series Change SWAP sanity check to use blkid in favor of cryptsetup Fix isLuks check Change copyright and license information Tom Gundersen (9): udevadm: trigger events of type subsystems as well as devices udevadm: retry failed udev events after filesystems have been mounted udev: do not copy /lib/udev/devices/* to /dev locale: set the sysfs value default_utf8 rather than enabling/disabling utf8 in locale.sh mount: forbid suid,exec,dev from /proc and /sys lvm: run vgchange in sysinit mode lvm: enable/disable monitoring of lvm2 groups cryptsetup: fix indentation PATH: export a standard path in rc.sysinit Victor Lowther (15): Bashify initscripts. A little creative parameter expansion simplifies stat_die(). Clean up status() function. Simplify in_array. Finish bashifying functions. Bashify rc.multi Bashify rc.single. Both rc.single and rc.shutdown use the same code to kill everything. Bashify rc.shutdown Bashify rc.sysinit, part 1 Rewrite /etc/crypttab processing. Bashify netfs Bashify adjtime.cron Trivial bashification of network script. Add a PKGBUILD for building initscripts-git for testing.

PKGBUILD at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9710721/grub2_sources/grub2-1.99~rc1-1.src.tar.gz - has grub2-common-{i686,x86_64} and grub2-bios-any grub2-efi-i386-any and makepkg builds fine without any problems. - Keshav
