daemontools (1:0.76-1) unstable; urgency=low With the daemontools package being put into the public domain by the upstream author, daemontools is now available as binary package in Debian/main. Please note that this new binary package differs from the package created through the daemontools-installer package available in Debian/non-free; most notably this package doesn't set up svscanboot to run and provide system-wide service supervision. To do so, additionally install the daemontools-run package. daemontools' default directory for services on Debian is /etc/service/, not the top-level directory /service/ as provided by the upstream package; to be consistent with existing documentation, it is recommended to create a compatibility symlink through ln -s /etc/service /service after installing the daemontools-run package. daemontools-installer is still available, if you don't want to upgrade to these new binary packages, you should stop the installation, make sure the daemontools-installer package is installed, and put daemontools on hold, as described in http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.en.html#s-puttingonhold -- Gerrit Pape Mon, 25 Feb 2008 20:24:49 +0000
