  • Bug#1100096: unblock: sysvinit/3.14-4 (pre-approval)

    From Mark Hindley@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 11 12:00:02 2025
    XPost: linux.debian.devel.release

    Package: release.debian.org
    Severity: normal
    User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
    Usertags: unblock
    X-Debbugs-Cc: sysvinit@packages.debian.org
    Control: affects -1 + src:sysvinit

    Please pre-approve unblocking of package sysvinit.

    [ Reason ]

    src:kmod removed /etc/init.d/kmod in version 34.1-1[1]. It was suggested that it
    be included in src:orphan-sysvinit-scripts[2], but orphan-sysvinit-scripts requires a matching unit file to use as a dpkg trigger. The equivalent systemd unit is in systemd itself. Therefore we consider /etc/init.d/kmod to be a better
    fit in bin:initscripts.

    bin:initscripts is built from src:sysvinit which also builds bin:sysvinit-utils which is part of the toolchain freeze from 15th March -- hence the pre-approval unblock request.

    [ Impact ]

    Without this transition, non-systemd systems will no longer load kernel modules statically configured in /etc/mod*. The upload will fix #1100072.

    [ Tests ]

    I have manually tested installation with existing kmod/34-3. The Breaks/Replaces
    forces apt to upgrade kmod as expected.

    [ Risks ]

    Moving files between packages is not risk free. However, the uncoordinated actions of the kmod maintainer has made this necessary despite the current stage of the release cycle.

    [ Checklist ]
    [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
    [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
    [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

    [ Other info ]
    kmod.postinst also runs[3]

    rm -f /etc/rcS.d/[SK]*kmod

    This breaks upgrades and has also been highlighted in #1100035

    unblock sysvinit/3.14-4
