      - not cleaned at boot time,
      - not unmounted at shutdown or reboot,
      - mounts of /var  are guarded to protect these mountpoints.
    - /proc/bus/usb not mounted,
    - /dev/pts always mounted and /dev/ptmx created only by udev,
    - mountnfs called from /etc/network/if-up.d instead of init,
    - mtab handled completely from mtab.sh, not speculatively,
    - /dev/.udev.log saved as /var/log/udev if it exists,
    - message change to sendsigs,
    - sendsigs restores usplash,
    - VERBOSE=no byu default,
    - mountvirtfs dropped entirely,
    - /etc/rc.local run at end of boot process,
    - different boot order,
    - usplash progress charted during shutdown and during initramfs,
    - runlevel documentation patch,
    - our own sulogin and splash patches.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-14.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * mountnfs.sh: If needed, call nfs-common's init.d script to start
    rpc.gssd or rpc.idmapd as needed. This is needed for Kerberized NFS
    mounts and NFSv4 mounts. (Closes: #359176)

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-10) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Thomas Hood ]
  * bootclean: Adapt from old bootclean.sh; handle return status more
    carefully; print diagnostic messages on failures; eliminate use of
    subshells; add comments; improve deletion code
  * bootclean: Always rm /tmp/.X*-lock
  * mountall.sh: Eliminate unnecessary check for pre-2.4 Linux kernel
  * mountnfs.sh, mountall.sh: Choose different names for intnl. functions
  * mountnfs.sh: Only sleep 1 second after starting portmap; note that
    the code to start portmap will disappear someday
  * various scripts: Make more messages depend on VERBOSE being != "no"
  * various scripts: Handle return status more carefully
  * various scripts: Eliminate unnecessary uses of subshell
  * mountvirtfs -> mountkernfs.sh; mountdevsubfs -> mountdevsubfs.sh;
    mountvirtfs now calls the above two (for backward compatibility);
    mtab.sh now runs mountkernfs.sh and mountdevsubfs.sh to update
    the mtab file after mountall.sh.
  * /etc/init.d/rc: Restore PATH after sourcing an initscript
  * debian/rules:
    + Use ':', not the deprecated '.' between owner and group names
      in chown commands
    + Use '-o root' with install
  * /etc/init.d/README: Note that /etc/init.d/*.sh must have '#!/bin/sh'
    and must follow policy 10.4.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-9) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Thomas Hood ]
  * Split mountdevsubfs out of mountvirtfs and run it at S04 and S37.
    [Note added in 2.86.ds1-10: these scripts were renamed]
    This should not behave any differently, but the split will allow
    packages that futz with /dev to do this at S03.
  * umountfs: Only run umount if there is something to unmount
    (Closes: #345272)
  * urandom: Set PATH so that find can be found  (Closes: #345273)
  * init: 64_init_set_PATH.dpatch: Set PATH if it's unset on re-exec
    (Closes: #345370)
  * init: 65_init_u_in_06.dpatch: Allow 'telinit u' in runlevels 0, 6
    (Closes: #345719)  People running Debian from unusual media (such
    as filesystems embedded in NTFS files) are wanting to unmount
    /sbin at the last moment and need to re-exec init to do so.
  * umountroot: Remount ro with -f on GNU/kFreeBSD  (Closes: #344547)
  * checkroot.sh, checkfs.sh: Pause for five seconds if sulogin fails
    so that the user can see the error message  (Addresses #337444)
  * Include /var/log/fsck/ in initscripts package  (Closes: #346139)
  * Replace /lib/init/functions.sh with /lib/init/mount-functions.sh
    for use by mountvirtfs and mountdevsubfs
  * various initscripts: Clean up code that reads fstab
  * various scripts: Redirect which program's stderr to /dev/null
    since the GNU version prints an error message when the command is
    not found  (Closes: #345321)
  * /etc/default/rcS: Make VERBOSE and DELAYLOGIN default to "no"
  * /etc/default/rcS: Remove descriptions of variables; leave behind
    a reference to rcS(5).  This eliminates the problem of comments
    becoming outdated without our being able to update them.
  * Remove obsolete docs
  * Make initscripts Depend on mount >= 2.11x-1  (Closes: #345968)
  * Remove obsolete dependencies on bsdutils, coreutils, dpkg, kbd and
    util-linux: the versions in question are older than oldstable, so
    any newly installed system and any system that has upgraded to
    sarge (or even woody) satisfies the constraints.
  * Remove obsolete dependency on the last package: last was forced off
    systems when they upgraded to buzz
  * Add Replaces to Conflicts: mdutils which no longer exists even in
    oldstable
  * initscripts postinst: Remove obsolete GMT-to-UTC code: this
    conversion was performed when systems were upgraded to potato
  * sysvinit: Depend on libc6 rather than Pre-Depending on it; we don't
    do anything special in the preinsts any more
  * Correct documentation of init's -e and -t options
  * Tweak descriptions
  * Add READMEs for remaining runlevel dirs  (Closes: #242957)
  * Previous release also
    closes: #227540 "skeleton: Don't include /usr/local/* in PATH"
    closes: #346415 "mountnfs.sh doesn't work with the "bg" mount option"

  [ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
  * sysv-rc: Fix some typos in the startpar handling.  (Closes: #345269)
  * Add code to detect and report bad 'exit' calls in init.d scripts,
    if they kill /etc/init.d/rc.
  * Make sure sourcing work with dash /bin/sh, by using 'set $action'
    to pass arguments to the script. (Closes: #345267)

  Thanks to Mark Hatle for help with this release.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-8) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Thomas Hood ]
  * Omit /run until we are sure it's needed  (Closes: #344001)
  * Previous release also
    closes: #338736 "mountvirtfs: Succeeds in various cases it should fail"
    closes: #342160 "checkroot.sh ignores fsck result"
    closes: #342744 "checkroot.sh sources mountvirtfs, yet supplies arguments"
  * Use /proc/mounts instead of /etc/mtab when unmounting  (Closes: #338801)
  * Check for files under mountpoints more thoroughly
  * initscripts.postinst:
    + Don't fail to install on file-rc systems  (Closes: #343993)
    + Don't fail to install in chroots  (Closes: #344089)
  * No longer keep the dynamic nologin flag file on the root filesystem;
    instead, keep it at /var/lib/initscripts/nologin.  Note to admins:
    initscripts's postinst symlinks /etc/nologin to the latter location.
    To switch login delaying on or off permanently, set DELAYLOGIN=no in
    /etc/default/rcS and either create or delete (respectively)
    /var/lib/initscripts/nologin.
  * mountvirtfs: Mount /dev/shm earlier; move long comment to README.Debian
  * Add 45_pidof_symlink.dpatch: Make pidof an absolute symlink
    (Closes: #343862)
  * debian/rules, 30_strip.dpatch: Strip .comment section from executables
    (Closes: #343863)
  * In umountfs, run umount with -f  (Closes: #344547)

  [ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
  * Enable the startpar option as it should work now that .sh scripts
    are serialized.  The clock should no longer jump while startpar
    is used.

sysvinit (2.86.ds1-7) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
  * Add commented-out code to /etc/init.d/rc for sourcing
    *.sh scripts for runlevel 'S'.  This is preparation for fixing
    #339955.  Actually fixing it has to wait until other packages
    remove "exit" from their .sh scripts.
  * Implement progress bar support for splash screen.  Enabled when
    usplash_write is in PATH.  Patch from Scott James Remnant and Ubuntu.

  [ Thomas Hood ]
  * *.sh: Make sure that these do their thing when they aren't given any
    command line arguments (as is the case when they are sourced)
  * initscripts: Improve use of log_* functions
    (Closes: #55143, #116366, #323749)
  * bootclean.sh: Do not delete symlinks-to-directories from /var/run/
    (Closes: #272066)
  * checkroot.sh: Fix double printing of 'Done checking root file system';
    mountall.sh: Fix chopped-up printing of mount information
    (Closes: #339979, #331397, #341097 and presumably closes: #332309)
  * checkroot.sh, checkfs.sh: Save fsck logs  (Closes: #189356)
    Thanks to Theodore Y. Ts'o.
  * checkroot.sh, mountvirtfs: Eliminate use of dir_writable in order to
    try to please selinux  (Closes: #333836)
  * checkroot.sh: Only run findfs for mount on /  (Closes: #275680)
    Thanks to Cameron Hutchison for the patch.
  * mountall.sh, mountnfs.sh: Split call to bootclean out into separate
    script called at the next sequence number  (Closes: #286479)
  * bootmisc.sh: Shorten motd header  (Closes: #340017)
  * bootmisc.sh: Store dynamic motd in /var/run/ and make /etc/motd a
    symbolic link.  The EDITMOTD variable no longer has any effect; to
    disable updating of the motd just point the /etc/motd symlink to a
    static file such as /etc/motd.static.
  * bootmisc.sh: Rotate dmesg log with savelog (Closes: #237074)
    and chgrp adm.
  * umountroot: Change mount command in order to exclude bind mounts of
    the root directory  (Closes: #339023)
  * Replace /etc/rc1.d/20single by /etc/rc1.d/S30killprocs and
    /etc/rc1.d/S99single so that packages can insert scripts to do
    things between the "killall5" in the former and the "exec init -t1 S"
    in the latter.  This may help to address #145280.
  * umountfs: Unmount tmpfs before swapoff and other fs's afterwards
    (Closes: #328582, hopefully without reopening #84782)
  * Make stop-bootlogd a distinct script rather than a symlink to bootlogd.
    Give it its own LSB header.
  * Add stop-bootlogd-single initscript to stop bootlogd in "single" mode
    (Closes: #213028, #220025)
  * checkfs.sh: Implement FSCKTYPES  (Closes: #89481)  Set, e.g.,
    FSCKTYPES="ext2,msdos" to fsck only file system types ext2 and msdos
    See fsck(8) for syntax.  FSCKTYPES="none" disables fsck of file
    systems (other than the root filesystem) altogether.
  * all initscripts: Set variables using common script
  * all initscripts: Fix usage messages
  * all initscripts: Allow VERBOSE to be set via the INIT_VERBOSE=yes
    kernel argument (Closes: #286082)  Experimental.  The name of the
    kernel argument may change in the future if we decide to implement
    this more generally.
  * Improve skeleton initscript
  * all scripts: Clean up; standardize indentation
  * all scripts: Use the "which" program to test for executability
  * initscripts: Experimentally include /run; include /sys in Linux
    builds
  * mountvirtfs: Mount a tmpfs on /run
  * mountvirtfs: Warn if mount point has stuff under it (Closes: #95390)
  * initscripts postinst: Mount virtual filesystems
  * initscripts preinst: Remove ancient /etc/init.d/boot conversion code
    (Closes: #343596)
  * default config files: Clean up comments
  * Make initscripts Depend on debianutils >= 2.13.1 in order to prevent
    #295850.  Note that debianutils also has to be >= 2.12.0 so that the
    "which" program is available in /bin.
  * Remove currently unneeded sysvinit Dependency on coreutils
    (Closes: #316423)
  * pidof: If the program is specified with a path, don't match processes
    of programs run from different paths  (Closes: #160329)
  * init: 40_selinux.dpatch: Remove superfluous printf argument
  * init: Add 63_init_longer_procname.dpatch  (Closes: #336172)
  * init.8: Mention that entering runlevel 1 kills all processes
    (Closes: #238861)
  * update-rc.d.8: Mention that update-rc.d will not create multiple start
    or multiple stop symlinks for a service in a single runlevel directory.
    (Closes: #330155)
  * Update FSF address
