From ce9883adcab118cd8a0ae45076486ebf643fe2d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick J Volkerding Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2018 06:15:46 +0000 Subject: Thu Sep 6 06:15:46 UTC 2018 a/acpid-2.0.30-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. a/etc-15.0-x86_64-9.txz: Rebuilt.

Thanks to ivandi. Also (in the comments) provide a possibly better but untested solution. Thanks to SeB. a/sysvinit-2.90-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt. sysvinit-2.90 added an undocumented feature that tries to spawn agetty if it sees console= in the kernel command line. Avoiding the debate about whether this code belongs in init at all, at least such a change should be documented, and probably made opt-in. This patch disables the new behavior unless "sysvinit_agetty" is also seen in the kernel command line. It seems like this might have been something added for Hurd, and it might be wise to stick to what we've got rather than following upstream on this particular package. If anyone notices any other odd behavior, please let me know. Thanks to shastah. a/sysvinit-scripts-2.1-noarch-19.txz: Rebuilt. When checking for intel_pstate, direct the stderr to /dev/null in case the file doesn't exist in /sys. Thanks to ivandi.
