    Dear mentors,

    I am looking for a sponsor for my package "runit":

    * Package name : runit
    Version : 2.1.2-42
    Upstream Author : Gerrit Pape <pape@smarden.org>
    * URL : http://smarden.org/runit/
    * License : BSD-3-clause, GPL-3+
    * Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/debian/runit
    Section : admin

    It builds those binary packages:

    runit-init - system-wide service supervision (as init system)
    getty-run - runscripts to supervise getty processes
    runit-systemd - transitional package for runit-systemd users
    runit-run - service supervision (systemd and sysv integration)
    runit - system-wide service supervision

    To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:

    https://mentors.debian.net/package/runit/

    Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

    dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/runit/runit_2.1.2-42.dsc

    git repo: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/runit/-/tree/next

    Changes since the last upload:

    runit (2.1.2-42) unstable; urgency=medium
    .
    * Release to unstable
    * getty-run: add hvc0 service, disabled by default:
    this is usually needed by Xen hypervisor
    * Add a default-syslog virtual service:
    to increase portability, services that log to syslog
    can depend on this rather than on a specific
    syslog daemon
    * shutdown.c:
    - try to fix FTBFS on Hurd (Closes: #992629)
    - distinguish between halt and shutdown flags:
    The -r flag ( as reboot) now only works with shutdown;
    Add a -f flag to shutdown (skip fsck next boot);
    Add -F flag to shutdown (force fsck next boot);
    The -f (as force a shutdown) and -w/--wtmp-only flags now
    only work with halt.
    (Closes: #992631)
    - Add a -n flag to halt, to skip sync() before reboot/poweroff;
    also, always check for runit.nosync flag file before invoking
    sync() (Closes: #992641)
    - make halt '-f' flag a noop when runit is init. This way runit
    can use its own code to reboot/poweroff the system; users
    can still use the long '--force' option to force a shutdown
    without signaling the init (Closes: #899246)
    * Update shutdown(8) manpage
    * Bump Standards Version to 4.6.0, no change required
    * Update lintian overrides for 'alternative init but not init.d script'
