12:57:52 < ubottu> Launchpad bug 71418 in sysvinit "/etc/init.d/(halt|reboot) disables WoL" [Low,Confirmed]

12:58:50 < ogra> grmbl ... doesnt work for pushed changes indeed :/
12:59:05 < Keybuk> siretart: my opinion can be found at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/92685 already ;)
12:59:06 < ubottu> Ubuntu bug 92685 in upstart "noisy halt if /proc/ide doesn't exist" [Wishlist,Invalid]
12:59:15 < Keybuk> "both downing drives and interfaces should be things the kernel does these days"
13:00:30 < siretart> Keybuk: I read this as agreement that the NETDOWN variable should default to 'no'. right?
13:00:50 < Keybuk> siretart: no, I'll just take the -i option out of reboot one day so it won't matter what the NETDOWN variable is :p
13:00:55 < Keybuk> it's too late to change that variable for intrepid anyway
13:02:12 < siretart> Keybuk: I still don't get how removing the '-i' can potentially harmful. could you elaborate a bit?
13:03:03 < Keybuk> siretart: the fact you don't understand why it is yes is precisely the reason it shouldn't be changed this late in a
                   cycle
13:03:20 < Keybuk> *I* don't understand why it is yes either
13:03:25 < Keybuk> but clearly someone felt it was important
13:03:47 < Keybuk> and since it has always been yes, that means by changing it, you may turn up new bugs
13:04:52 < siretart> so lets set it to yes after jaunty opens and see what breaks?
13:08:16 < Keybuk> siretart: that would be my choice
