Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.121
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
Lintian seems to be very confused by new style init scripts:
#!/usr/bin/env /lib/init/init-d-script
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: bcron-sched
# Should-Start: $syslog
# Required-Start: $time
# Required-Stop: $time
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: bcron system scheduler
### END INIT INFO
NAME='bcron-start'
DESC='bcron system scheduler'
DAEMON=/usr/sbin/bcron-start
daemon_ () { /usr/bin/daemon --noconfig --name "${NAME}" "$@"; }
if ! test -x '/usr/bin/daemon' ; then
log_failure_msg "install \`daemon' package to use ${NAME} script"
exit 1
fi
do_start_cmd_override () {
daemon_ "${DAEMON}"
}
do_stop_cmd_override () {
if daemon_ --running ; then
daemon_ --stop
fi
}
and outputs a lot of warnings and errors:
W: bcron: init.d-script-uses-usr-interpreter etc/init.d/bcron-update /usr/bin/env
W: bcron: init.d-script-does-not-source-init-functions etc/init.d/bcron-sched
E: bcron: init.d-script-does-not-implement-required-option etc/init.d/bcron-spool restart
E: bcron: init.d-script-does-not-implement-required-option etc/init.d/bcron-spool force-reload
Rationale:
* /lib/init/init-d-script is shell script; kFreeBSD does not
support shell scripts as shebang interpreters, hence /usr/bin/env
* /lib/init/init-d-script does source init functions
* /lib/init/init-d-script does implement both restart and force-reload
in generic way (stop -> start).
Actually,
#!/usr/bin/env /lib/init/init-d-script
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: foo
# Should-Start: $syslog
# Required-Start: $time
# Required-Stop: $time
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: foo daemon
### END INIT INFO
NAME='foo daemon'
DESC='foo deamon that frobnicates bars'
DAEMON=/usr/sbin/foobar
is perfectly fine new style init script. As you can see, there is no
explicit references to stop/start/restart actions, but they are present.
