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!
