We have started sysvinit utils consolidation long time ago
(mountpoint, utmpdump, etc.). I'd like to finish this task in v2.24.
The goal is to make sysvinit[-tools] package unnecessary and maintain
generic init independent commands in utils-linux (and procps).
v2.24 changes:
* I have merged last/lastb from sysvinit
The sysvinit implementation is better than the original util-linxu
code. The problem is that command line options are incompatible, so
the old util-linxu version is temporary available by
--enable-deprecated-last.
* wall(1) from util-linux has been improved to accept a message on
command line to be compatible with sysvinit implementation.
* mesg(1) seems already compatible, so no change.
All the commands are enabled by default now. Use --disable-{last,wall,mesg}
if you don't like this decision.
Thanks to Ondrej (in CC) for his help with this boring work.
Karel
