[sysvinit-devel] Fixing a typo (aka new release)

[Jesse Smith]

Yesterday I published a new stable version of sysvinit (2.92) and it
looked like everything had gone well. However, someone pointed out a
typo in the pidof code which disabled the -o (omit PID) flag. Since it's
a very quick and minor fix and since this version of sysvinit is likely
to be supported in Debian (and Devuan) for several years, I decided to
publish a new, very minor update to sysvinit.

So with that in mind, I have uploaded a new release, sysvinit 2.93. It
is identical to 2.92, except it fixes the pidof -o flag.

Good. It works on x86_64. :-)

Note that "sysvinit-latest.tar.bz2" on the
Savannah repo does not represent to the latest version.

This has been a problem for a while. For some reason I'm unable to
delete the old symlink someone else put in place for a previous release.
Anyone attached to the project able to update or, better yet, remove the
old "latest" links from the archive?
