[Bug 1047837] Re: Upstart support

[Christian Kampka]

Those files are indeed unnecessary because the debdiff (of course) swallowed the symlinks.
Originally the upstart scripts for different components are just symlinks to these generic ones since they are really all the same and just exist for debhelper magic.
Since debian rejected the debdiff anyways I have created a bzr branch that can handle the symlinks.

I'll take a look at the setup job as soon as I find the time.

Title:
  Upstart support

Status in Zabbix:
  Won't Fix
Status in “zabbix” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Ubuntu uses Upstart instead of SysVInit to run the init process.
  Attached debdiff includes upstart scripts that will allow Upstart to
  start/stop all zabbix daemon components. Installation of the scripts
  will happen automatically using Ubuntus Upstart debhelper scripts,
  Debian will simply ignore them.

  The patch was also sent upstream to the Debian maintainers.
