Initscript does not use lsb-base functions

[Lionel Le Folgoc]

Package : Firestarter 1.0.3-1.1ubuntu1
Distribution : Ubuntu Breezy Badger/Dapper Drake

Firestarter initscript does not use lsb-base init functions. Instead of displaying :
$ /etc/init.d/firestarter start
* Starting the Firestarter firewall... [ok]

it only shows :
$ /etc/init.d/firestarter start
* Starting the Firestarter firewall:done

(And i suppose that this output won't match with some programs like usplash.)

And "Depends lsb-base (>=3.0-1ubuntu8)" should be added to debian/control

debian/Firestarter.init, using lsb-base init-functions

Interestingly one year ago I sent a similar patch to the -devel mailing list:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2005-March/005895.html

A perfect example why people should use Malone to keep track of problem and fixes. Emails to the mailing lists tend to be quickly forgotten, even by the author of the email :)

I uploaded a patch for the proposed initscript

Hi!

Does the problem still persist in the latest Dapper release (1.0.3-1.1ubuntu2)?

Thanks,

[Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit)]

Yes, the initscript is still the same. It does not prevent usplash from working, except that it doesn't display any message during boot/shutdown.

The actual initscript works without problem, so that's only a "cosmetic" request. :-)

Patches look good.

Fix included in latest Dapper upload (1.0.3-1.1ubuntu3). Thanks everyone! =)
