Hi,
Long time ago I have added Upstart support to PLD Linux rc-scripts and
various services. It was many hours of my time wasted and not that are
just useless scary hacks in the scripts. I will be happy to waste a bit
more of my time to get rid of this.
Upstart itself is not maintained any more in PLD, or even upstream. And
the hacks only complicate the rc-scripts even more than it is needed.
The plan is:
– remove all upstart-specific code from rc-scripts and add 'Conflicts:
upstart' there
– remove 'upstart_controlled', etc. from init scripts
– remove '-upstart' subpackages and add 'Obsoletes: %{name}-upstart',
'Conflicts: upstart' to the corresponding packages
Then the 'upstart' package should be dropped from Th too.
What do you think?
Greets,
Jacek
