Talk:Upstart (software)

message: I failed to find where Upstart has replaced cron, atd, anacron and inetd Ubuntu Fiesty and Gibbon.  I only see it has replaced /etc/inittab and sysvinit functionality.  Can someone enlighten me on this?  --KJRehberg 19:56, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Upstart has actually replaced cron? 

message: Upstart 0.5 is the next expected release and SJR has posted three long emails about its roadmap. I don't feel there is too much value to incorporate anything into the article yet, better to wait until after the fact.. -- Sverdrup (talk) 00:17, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Upstart 0.5 

message: The article does a good job on who, what, where and when, what's missing is the "why". 
What's the motivation for this project?  Why is it supposed to be an improvement over the traditional way of doing it?

thread_title:  But what's it for? 

message: Would be nice if wikipedia dosn't write articles about events in the future. Also Poettering and many newspapers think different, I think the poll is still running. (Two of seven days.) The CT will publish it if they are ready and even than the GR is allowed to change this decision. I think using the offitial site for decitions of the CT () would be the best in this case. (And nothing is published there up to now.) I hope I understood the process at the debian TC right. --Fabiwanne (talk) 22:45, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that's exactly the same as my own thinking while reviewing (and cleaning up) that recent addition.  Should we delete the "Debian chooses systemd" statement, and wait until the voting is officially closed? — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 22:58, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've reverted it. And since it were only a 2 links which was added I thought it's no problem to wait the week for undoing it. --Fabiwanne (talk) 08:02, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

replies: text:  Well I'm not going to prove to you, that the sky is blue… Bdale Garbee is the chairman of the tech-ctte, which put the final casting vote at the very reference that I gave. So live with that or let the article contain outdated information. Cálestyo (talk) 19:30, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  jessie and systemd 

message: I've reordered the adoption section a bit.
What matters here is really only who supports / uses it per default and who not... especially it doesn't matter a lot whether such distro moved to systemd afterwards or not.
Further, I think it's not neutral to include dead (Maemo) or "special" distros (chrome, or WebOS which is nowadays a Linux for TVs o.O) in the list of such that use it per default...

replies: text: Hm, that's debatable.  For example, Maemo has been officially dead for a long time, but many people are still using their community-supported (to a certain degree) N900 phones.  Maybe the solution would be to describe such examples as no longer maintained, or with something similar?  Then again, let's see what the other editors think about it. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 05:55, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
