[06:17] <Keybuk> it's a replacement, not a clone ;)
[06:17] <Keybuk> there wouldn't be much point cloning it, no?
[06:18] <AlexExtreme> exactly
[06:19] <AlexExtreme> but i think he's got the wrong idea because the rc*.d folders and symlinks in there still exist in edgy
[06:19] <AlexExtreme> i've explained to him that there isn't a replacement set of jobs yet :)
[06:21] <Keybuk> right, we just replaced the stuff that was in inittab directly
[06:21] <Keybuk> it doesn't make sense to *not* be backwards compatible with /etc/rc*.d
[06:21] <Keybuk> we need to support that for most software to work without modification
[06:21] <Keybuk> otherwise on day #1, we need to write upstart jobs for everything
[06:22] <Keybuk> by supporting it, we can write upstart jobs one at a time (until they are all done)
[06:22] <AlexExtreme> of course, because there are programs such as vmware which provide init scripts and stick 'em in rc*.d
[06:22] <AlexExtreme> there will always be a need to support rc*.d, until upstart because a "standard"
[06:22] <_ion> Well, unless they're packaged for the distribution.
[06:22] <AlexExtreme> *becomes
[06:23] <AlexExtreme> yes
[06:23] <_ion> Which they should be, instead of allowing stuff just to throw stuff all around the filesystem.
[06:24] <AlexExtreme> frugalware has a program called repoman, which allows there to be build scripts in the source repo, but the packages aren't in the package repository. the user can build these packages with repoman. that gets around license issues and such, yet making sure that it doesn't break stuff
[07:05] <AlexExtreme> bbl, food
[09:29] <rgl> hello
[09:30] <AlexExtreme> hi rgl
