[13:24] <wookey_> On another matter: A package I am sponsoring finds that init scripts should use "lib/init/init-d-script" from sysvinit-utils. But this is not present on ubuntu trusty. And they want to suppport that too. How does ubuntu normally deal with this?
[13:25] <wookey_> there must be hundreds of packages that have init sripts but still install fine on ubuntu. Do they all pre-date these 'library-ised' init scripts?
[14:00] <geser> did the package change which this file belongs too? it was/is in lsb-base since 3.2-14 according to that file
[14:03] <geser> forget it, I should read the file more carefully
[14:06] <geser> looking in my vivid VM only the skeleton init.d script mentions it, the other ones are still normal shell scripts
[17:19] <Legendario> how should i package a software downloaded from github which does not state a version number?

[17:49] <tumbleweed> also slap the upstream and ask for a real, supported release
[18:24] <Legendario> thanks tumbleweed :-)
