AFAICS, this hasn't been uploaded, so now is an ideal time to ask for them to
revert the change with an explanation why.

The commit says

 Debian now primarily uses systemd, so reduce maintenance burden a bit.

So there is acceptance that non-systemd Debian still exists and it doesn't
reduce the maintenance burded, it just transfers and increases it elsewhere!

Mark

Hi Mark,

you're right. I filed #1095068 to ask the maintainers to revert this.
The version with the removed init script is currently in NEW pending
review.

best,

control: tags -1 + moreinfo

Looking at #1095068, the maintainers of minetest-server claim that the
init script isn't compatible with the latest version of minetest-server.

Do you have an init script that you've tested works with 5.8.0 or
ideally 5.10 of minetest-server / luanti-server, please?

Thanks,

Matthew

control: tags -1 - patch

Hi,

AFAICT, the patch on this doesn't work with 5.10, so is not suitable for
inclusion in orphan-sysvinit-scripts. So I'm removing the patch tag.

If you'd like an init script for minetest-server / luanti-server
included in orphan-sysvinit-scripts, we'll need one that works with the
version in sid.

Thanks,

Matthew
