Upstart 0.6.1 released
Written for upstart by Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2009-07-16
Thanks to Jeff Oliver's debugging, I was able to understand why the
ptrace()-based daemon supervision wasn't working half the time and come
up with a simple fix. Having working "expect fork" and "expect daemon"
is a big win!
Cleaned up a couple of minor "runlevel in sysinit" bugs at the same
time; and since D-Bus 1.2.16 has been released, bumped the requirement
so people know they can just use the release.
0.6.1 2009-07-16 "Born in the wagon of a travelling show"
* D-Bus 1.2.16 is now required.
* Updated ptrace() code to handle receiving the trapped stopped
child _before_ we receive the trapped fork() syscall, which
seems to be the most common way the race goes when running
as init. This seems to make "expect fork/daemon" largely work.
(Bug: #264711)
* runlevel will now output "unknown" and exit with an error when
called before the first telinit call. (Bug: #400248)
* runlevel will prefix error messages with the utmp filename being
used. (Bug: #400241)
