Please merge readahead-list 1:1.20060421.1016-3 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

[Julian Andres Klode]

Binary package hint: readahead-list

Please merge readahead-list from Debian unstable.
I attached a debdiff to the current version in Debian.

This brings us a new release of readahead-list and some other stuff from the Debian package. It also removes the compat package
which is really not needed anymore.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

Needs some fixes first

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

So this should be the final debdiff.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Scott: can you please take a look at it?

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

Our readahead packages aren't based on those in Debian, so this will require some careful consideration since it would be merging two packages with potentially different functionality.

Julian: the debdiff attached is _NOT_ based on the current Ubuntu package. Could you resubmit the debdiff to be from the current Ubuntu package to your merge?

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

Please note that the Debian package is based on the Ubuntu package. (-0ubuntu11).

The only changes made afterwards in Ubuntu are updates of the list and a bugfix for building with GCC 4.3, which has been integrated in the Debian package in a slightly different way (See Debian #474354).

Please also note that the Debian package is a newer upstream version, found in gentoo portage (the developer of the software is a Gentoo dev, and this new version was not published at the original location.)

I have not kept all Ubuntu changelog entries, as these were only " Regenerate boot.list using an installation of ...." entries.

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

Why the change to the boot ordering?

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

readahead-list (1:0.20050517.0220-2) unstable; urgency=low
  * Move readahead init.d script after mountkernfs, to make sure /proc/ is mounted when checking /proc/cmdline

- dh_installinit --no-start -- start 01 S .
+ dh_installinit --no-start -- start 02 S .

----
readahead-list (1:0.20050517.0220-1) unstable; urgency=low
  * Make sure to run init.d/stop-readahead in runlevels 3, 4 and 5 too.

- dh_installinit --name=stop-readahead --no-start -- start 99 2 .
+ dh_installinit --name=stop-readahead --no-start -- start 99 2 3 4 5 .

--
The second change is to make readahead stop if we are in a higher runlevel than 2. Other packages do the same (see e.g. diff /etc/rc2.d/ /etc/rc5.d/)

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

"m" < "r"

so S01mountkernfs.sh will always be run before S01readahead.

This change seems unnecessary.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

It may be technically unnecessary, but it is the way described in the policy:

"9.3 System run levels and init.d scripts
[...]
The names of the links all have the form Smmscript or Kmmscript where mm is a two-digit number and script is the name of the script (this should be the same as the name of the actual script in /etc/init.d).
[...]
The two-digit number mm is used to determine the order in which to run the scripts: low-numbered links have their scripts run first. For example, the K20 scripts will be executed before the K30 scripts. This is used when a certain service must be started before another."

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

Updated to keep the current boot order.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

Update?

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

After UVF and I haven't been able to review, deferred to Intrepid+1

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

readahead-list was removed from Debian and Ubuntu.
