[arch-general] initscripts-splash
Hallo, Currently I'm maintaining splashy and fbsplash. Some time ago there was a discussion of integration of the splash hooks in the initscripts in [core]. Is there something planed? It would reduce problems for some less experienced users. If this isn't possible, can someone update initscripts-splash when the new initscripts go to [core]? I only could upload a third initscripts package, that I can maintain myself, but that would only make a mess... I don't know if dtw is still active. The last time a dev updated the initscripts-splash package. Since I'm not a TU I depend on someone who updates it in order to support the new udev in a correct way. Thanks for now, dongiovanni

Actually, anyone can do it and you don't even need to overwrite the initscripts package. The initscripts in testing will load functions from /etc/rc.d/functions.d/*. Due to the way shell scripts work, if I redefine a function, it overwrites it. This way, one can simply create a functions.d/ file that overrides the standard stat_* functions to call splash related functions. No need to additions to the initscripts package, it's all there for ya.
I must have missed that ;) Thanks... I hope I will get a working solution on that soon!

Actually, I was planning to steal fbsplash and splashy and put them in community ;-) but didn't have much time recently to actually do this. :-( In addition I want to do a couple of small changes to initscripts that will not affect non-splashed systems at all, but will just provide more places to hook something via functions.d -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
Nice! This would make the scripts for fbsplash/splashy much easier to write. It makes no sense to start porting them to the functions.d system right now, right? If I can help you writing new scripts, when you will take fbsplash, let me know. dongiovanni

Yes, because some functionality will be impossible to implement without patching initscripts.
If I can help you writing new scripts, when you will take fbsplash, let me know.
Sure, I will contact you when everything will be ready to port fbsplash & splashy to functions.d and since I don't use them yet I will rely on you for testing. ;-) -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

Only some though. I took a look at it, and it's easy, but some stuff would be missed.
