Debian release. It would require the coordinated effort of several maintainers, but would make the end user experience a lot better. -In the Debian boot system, several packages include scripts that +are started from /etc/rcS.d/. In fact, there is a bite more of them +than make sense, and this causes a few problems. What kind of +problems, you might ask. There are at least two problems. The first +is that it is not possible to recover a machine after switching to +runlevel 1. One need to actually reboot to get the machine back to +the expected state. The other is that single user boot will sometimes +run into problems because some of the subsystems are activated before +the root login is presented, causing problems when trying to recover a +machine from a problem in that subsystem. A minor additional point is +that moving more scripts out of rcS.d/ and into the other rc#.d/ +directories will increase the amount of scripts that can run in +parallel during boot, and thus decrease the boot time.
+ +So, which scripts should start from rcS.d/. In short, only the +scripts that _have_ to execute before the root login prompt is +presented during a single user boot should go there. Everything else +should go into the numeric runlevels. This means things like +lm-sensors, fuse and x11-common should not run from rcS.d, but from +the numeric runlevels. Today in Debian, there are around 115 init.d +scripts that are started from rcS.d/, and most of them should be moved +out. Do your package have one of them? Please help us make single +user and runlevel 1 better by moving it.
+ +Scripts setting up the screen, keyboard, system partitions +etc. should still be started from rcS.d/, but there is for example no +need to have the network enabled before the single user login prompt +is presented.
+ +As always, things are not so easy to fix as they sound. To keep +Debian systems working while scripts migrate and during upgrades, the +scripts need to be moved from rcS.d/ to rc2.d/ in reverse dependency +order, ie the scripts that nothing in rcS.d/ depend on can be moved, +and the next ones can only be moved when their dependencies have been +moved first. This migration must be done sequentially while we ensure +that the package system upgrade packages in the right order to keep +the system state correct. This will require some coordination when it +comes to network related packages, but most of the packages with +scripts that should migrate do not have anything in rcS.d/ depending +on them. Some packages have already been updated, like the sudo +package, while others are still left to do. I wish I had time to work +on this myself, but real live constrains make it unlikely that I will +find time to push this forward.
