Subject: introduce virtual facility x-display-manager for dependency based boot system

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: ldm
Severity: normal
User: initscripts-ng-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: missing-provides

hello,

as discussed in bug #553338, it would be useful to have a virtual
facility for display mangers in order to use it in LSB headers of
initscripts.

see http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DebianVirtualFacilities for
more information.

all packages that provide a display manager, to my knowledge gdm, kdm,
ldm, nodm, sdm, wdm and xdm, need to provide a file at
/etc/insserv.conf.d/<package> with the following content:

$x-display-manager		<service_name>

for your particular package (ldm) this would be:

$x-display-manager		ldm

in /etc/insserv.conf.d/ldm

greetings,
 jonas

neither ldm nor sdm currently provide an init script; they are started by other
mechanisms.
