Peakerhi, is it possible that in the future, the format of the init scripts and their layout on the file system will be changed?10:29
Peakerbecause it could be nice if it used "make -j" or whatever to allow parallelization of unrelated processes at boot time10:32
Peaker(while maintaining the topographical order)10:32
Peakerand also it could be nice if the shutdown process didn't shut down things that don't have to be (saving time)... Like shutting down each and every stateless daemon. (But that's another issue)10:33
Peaker(or at least parallelize that too)10:33
talePeaker, I believe those things are already designed to work that way, from what I know10:52
Peakerwell, I know bootup is pretty damned slow (compared to Windows still) so I assumed it must be serial (its hidden under the graphical stuff so I can't tell) :)10:53
taleparallelization wasn't enabled at boot time because they wanted to test the scripts more.10:53
talethat's what I was told when I asked about Feisty10:53
taleit's hard to compare against windows accurately10:54
talean old windows system boots much slower for me compared to a fresh install 10:54
taleif you want to speed up ubuntu boots, check the community help10:55
talehelp.ubuntu.com10:55
talethey provide a post in the community section that gives ways to make it faster10:55
Peakerits not important to me, really, I was just wondering - and also I think its important for potential users and making a good impression10:55
taleit will get there10:56
Peakerok, cool. I was thinking that the problem is probably hundreds of daemon packages that register themselves into /etc/rc*.d/* in ad-hoc ways10:56
Peakerand making it parallel requires explicitly specifying the dependency relationships, instead of putting a number inside an rcX.d directory10:56
taleright, they should have all the scripts worked out for the next release if everything goes to plans10:57
Peakerah cool so there will be no more of the /etc/rc2.d/* crap?11:00
Peakeroh I see how upstart events can be used as a dependency invocation thing11:06
Peakerif they are already used that way - what are the /etc/rc*.d/numberedScripts doing there? Are they unused? Or still used for these things that aren't invoked on events11:06
talePeaker, it's my understanding that they are for compatibility at this point and will eventually go away11:31
Peakercool!11:31
Peakerthe chart png thing is cool too11:31
taleyou mean bootchart?11:34
