Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the file-rc package.
The package description is:
This package provides an alternative mechanism to boot the system, to
shut it down and to change runlevels. The /etc/rc?.d/* links will be
converted into one single configuration file /etc/runlevel.conf
instead, which is easier to administrate than symlinks, and is also
more flexible.
.
The package will automatically convert your existing symlinks into
the file method on installation, and convert the file back into
symlinks on removal. Both mechanisms are compatible through
/etc/init.d/rc, /etc/init.d/rcS, /usr/sbin/update-rc.d, and
/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d scripts.
At the moment this package requires some action because it is required
to implement insserv functionality here, see Bug#539591.
At the moment I personally won't find the time to dig deep enough into
insserv to code this.
So I request for an adopter of this package.
Tschoeeee
