Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: sysvinit-2.86-2: A System-V Init Clone


Dr. Volker Zell wrote:
o Switched /usr/bin/init-config to use CSIH_SCRIPT

BTW, in the new init-config script:


# ======================================================================
# Action!
# ======================================================================

csih_enable_color

color is enabled by default. By explicitly (and unconditionally) enabling it here, you defeat the purpose of this:

if [ "$PROGDIR" = "/etc/postinstall" ]
then
  csih_auto_answer="no"
  csih_disable_color
fi
if [ -n "${CONFIG_AUTO_ANSWER_NO}" ]
then
  csih_auto_answer="no"
  csih_disable_color
fi

Which means that the setup.log.full file will contain funny characters -- IF /etc/postinstall/sysvinit invokes init-config. This brings up another point (which may obviate the previous one):

In the past, /etc/postinstall/sysvinit.sh was a copy of init-config; with csih, that's not the way to do it. Instead, the postinstall script should execute init-config like this (using the variable name you chose above):

export CONFIG_AUTO_ANSWER_NO=1
/usr/bin/init-config


However, the new package doesn't have a post-install script at all. I wonder if you shouldn't:


(1) remove the explicit csih_enable_color from init-config
(2) add a postinstall script with the two lines above.
