After several years of frustration with the lack of activity from -the existing sysvinit upstream developer, I decided a few weeks ago to -take over the package and become the new upstream. The number of -patches to track for the Debian package was becoming a burden, and the -lack of synchronization between the distribution made it hard to keep -the package up to date.
- -On the new sysvinit team is the SuSe maintainer Dr. Werner Fink, -and my Debian co-maintainer Kel Modderman. About 10 days ago, I made -a new upstream tarball with version number 2.87dsf (for Debian, SuSe -and Fedora), based on the patches currently in use in these -distributions. We Debian maintainers plan to move to this tarball as -the new upstream as soon as we find time to do the merge. Since the -new tarball was created, we agreed with Werner at SuSe to make a new -upstream project at Savannah, and continue -development there. The project is registered and currently waiting -for approval by the Savannah administrators, and as soon as it is -approved, we will import the old versions from svn and continue -working on the future release.
- -It is a bit ironic that this is done now, when some of the involved -distributions are moving to upstart as a syvinit replacement.
+Aftenposten +melder på forsiden av webavisen sin at de tror Erling Fossen +provoserer nordledinger med sine uttalelser på +fotballtinget. Jeg er utflyttet nordlending, og må innrømme at jeg +ikke kjennet så mye som et snev av provokasjon fra denne litt morsomme +uttalelsen til Hr. Fossen. Lurer på om Aftenposten har noen kilder +utenom redaksjonen for sin påstand om at nordledinger er provosert av +Hr. Fossen. Må innrømme at jeg tviler på det.
+ +Det hele bringer tankene tilbake til Sture Hansen i Hallo i Uken.
