initscripts 2009.03-1
 

New initscripts released, here you get the git shortlog:

Aaron Griffin (1):
Remove the kernel 'quiet' handling for fsck

Petar Bogdanovic (1):
Allow the user to cancel an fsck

Thomas Bächler (2):
Fix bug #13205: better random-seed entropy - For the random-seed
file location to be more "FHS compliant" is better to put in
/var/lib/misc/random-seed (Variable state information, that persists
after reboot) than the /var/run/random-seed (Run-time variable data,
that not necessarily persists after reboot) for example with /var/run
mounted as TMPFS. - The random-seed file permision should be "0600" not
"0644" - The size of random-seed acording to random(4) manpage should be
the size specified in "/proc/sys/kernel/random/poolsize" in other case
512 bytes.
Use the device nodes from /lib/udev/devices/* instead of
hardcoding them in initscripts. This requires a new udev package (at
least 139-1)


Tested on x86_64, please sign off.

Systems booted fine. Signoff both arches.

Another signoff for x86_64 here.

I'll take your signoff as signoffs for udev too (this initscripts
release depends on the new udev), but I'd love to have signoffs for
klibc-udev as well.

Can we have another signoff on i686 for udev+klibc-udev+initscripts? I
want to move this soon.

I tested this on a minimal ArchLinux I installed in a virtual machine.
/var/lib/misc/ was not present on that install so rc.shutdown
complained, and the random-seed file of course wasn't created.

Uh, that needs to be fixed. initscripts is in core already, so you were
a little slow, but I'll try to push a fixed version tonight.
