2016.9 includes a rewrite of each of the daemons used by LAVA,
lava-server, lava-master and lava-slave. When installing the upgrade,
admins need to accept the maintainer's version of the scripts in
/etc/init.d/ for these daemons. Where previously changes were made in
the scripts in /etc/init.d/, the same parameters can now be changed in
associated configuration files to prevent these conflicts in the
future.
/etc/init.d/lava-slave - change /etc/lava-dispatcher/lava-slave
/etc/init.d/lava-master - change /etc/lava-server/lava-master
/etc/init.d/lava-server - change /etc/default/lava-server
The prompt would look something like this:
Configuration file '/etc/init.d/lava-server'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** lava-server (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? y

References in the changelogs, commit history and announcements which
start with LAVA- followed by a number relate to the planning stories
which the LAVA team use for new features. The LAVA planning has now
been opened up to anonymous access by appending the reference to a
stub URL: http://projects.linaro.org/browse/, e.g.

The planning stories do not support comments or changes other than by
the LAVA software team. If you have comments on the stories, please

be made available once these problems are fixed. In the meantime, the
same build as will later appear in jessie-backports is available in
the production-repo:
