No, I managed to upload the modified cygutils package already, so
sysvinit no longer conflicts with it. The only issue I know of at this
point is:
the minor confusion that might be engendered by the fact that sysvinit
contains section 8 manpages for programs it does not supply. (shutdown,
halt, reboot, ) Plus, they probabaly are not correct with regards to the
actual binaries supplied by the shutdown package.
But that's your bailiwick, Corinna, not mine.
Oh, just one other thing -- a minor stylistic issue with the
/etc/postinstall script. Personally, I don't like "magic morphing
scripts" that behave differently if they are in /etc/postinstall or in
/usr/bin. IMO, /etc/postinstall/sysvinit.sh shouldn't copy itself to
/usr/bin/init-config. Instead, the parts that are actually ACTIVE when
the script is in it's "init-config personality" should simply be
HERE-documented into a separate script in /usr/bin.
But that's purely my opinion; others may differ. It's definitely NOT a
showstopper.
