meta: Use double colon for chown OWNER:GROUP

2018-11-06T12:14:24+00:00

Rationale - excerp from `info chown`
====================================

OWNER‘:’GROUP
     If the OWNER is followed by a colon and a GROUP (a group name or
     numeric group ID), with no spaces between them, the group ownership
     of the files is changed as well (to GROUP).

   Some older scripts may still use ‘.’ in place of the ‘:’ separator.
POSIX 1003.1-2001 (*note Standards conformance::) does not require
support for that, but for backward compatibility GNU ‘chown’ supports
‘.’ so long as no ambiguity results.  New scripts should avoid the use
of ‘.’ because it is not portable, and because it has undesirable
results if the entire OWNER‘.’GROUP happens to identify a user whose
name contains ‘.’.

initscripts: populate-volatiles: Speed up processing

2018-10-13T15:03:44+00:00

Checking the requirements for each volatiles file in the
populate-volatiles script can be very slow when there are a large number
of volatiles files, easily consuming over 80% of the processing time.
These checks don't usually uncover any problems so concatenate all the
volatiles files together and process them as one large file for a "fast
path" option. This ensures that the penalty for checking the
requirements is only incurred once. In the event that checking the
requirements for the unified file fails, fall back to the slow process
of checking each one individually so that the offending one can be
skipped.

The core file is handled separately because it is responsible for
creating the temp directory used by check_requirements and thus must
always run first and without having its requirements checked.

initscripts: read-only-rootfs-hook: Use overlay if available

2018-10-12T07:44:05+00:00

Copying files from the read-only /var/lib to tmpfs can be slow and waste
memory. If the kernel supports the overlay file system, use it to mount
a writable tmpfs on top of the read-only /var/lib and avoid the file
copy.

initscripts: don't use update-alternatives

2017-12-02T11:24:36+00:00

Stop using update-alternatives for managing /etc/init.d/functions. Also,
make the initscripts-functions subpackage to (runtime) conflict with
lsbinitscripts.

initscripts: split sushell into sub package

2017-08-23T07:49:54+00:00

* sushell is required by systemd service debug-shell
  when selinux is enabled, but it doesn't make sense
  to make systemd depend on initscripts, so split sushell
  into sub package initscripts-sushell.

* The bash dependency has been removed by:

  initscripts: Fix regression for requiring /bin/bash
  '''
  so remove bash from RDEPENDS when selinux is enabled.

initscripts: support persistent /var/log

2017-08-17T09:04:31+00:00

Respect VOLATILE_VAR_LOG variable so that if it's set to any valid boolean
false value, we could have persistent /var/log on the final image.

initscripts: start bootmisc.sh at 36 instead of 55

2017-07-21T21:45:19+00:00

bootmisc.sh is responsible for setting the system date to a sane
default. Currently, it is the last script to be run from the rcS
runlevel.

Problem is that the files created before appear to have been created
on 1/1/1970. Most notably, /var/log/dmesg created in dmesg.sh cannot be
properly rotated with logrotate which does not consider it a valid date
and stops processing.

There is no blocker on moving this script right before populating
volatiles because it just requires the local and virtual filesystems to
be mounted to work.
