A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Shamim Islam <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: rc-sysinit
System name: rc-sysinit
Type: GNU
Description:
Modified initscripts rc.sysinit for correctly handling fsck responses based on
Mandrake 9.1 initscripts code.
Should work correctly for RedHat 9.0 and others with slight modification.
rc.sysinit as it stands today has problems:
Does not honor PROMPT found in /etc/sysconfig/autofsck when root filesystem
contains trivial errors
Contains repetitious sections for handling fsck responses.
Contains repetitious sections for handling defaulted user input behavior
Is inconsisten in handling fsck error levels - fsck returns bitfields -
rc.sysinit checks for actual integers.
rc.sysinit does not handle interrupted powerfail shutdowns correctly.
Headless machines suffer user input requirements for trivial errors and require
monitors and keyboards to be plugged in.
Desktop systems suffer user input requirements for trivial errors and require
users to be more informed about problems than they should.
Other Software Required:
None - rc.sysinit is a standalone bash script for system startup.
Other Comments:
rc.sysinit needs a revamp. This project will contain an updated copy of this
file.
rc.sysinit is already part of the Gnu/Linux system and covered under GPL.
This is my attempt to record in a public forum my updates to this file for all
to use.
