Fixes #26478 - nested upstart services are not supported

Do you know when this is likely to make it into a release ? I notice, it didn't make it into v2015.5.5 or the v2015.8.0rc4.

Thanks

@rasathus, this will come out in Boron, which is the next major release after 2015.8.0 (Beryllium).

Thanks

Hi,
Is there a release date for Boron as yet ? I was rather hoping for this fix to be available via one of the publicly available packages by now. I've been desperately hoping to avoid having to build our own salt packages, and the headaches of distribution of them, but with a rapidly approaching product release date, its looking more and more like I'm going to have to. Thanks

@rasathus, it should be in a couple of months. This change looks small enough that with @cachedout's permission, we could backport it to 2015.8 and it might get in before 2015.8.4 is tagged, which will happen in the next few days.

@rasathus The current target date for a Boron release is mid-March.

[rasathus]

@jfindlay, It would be an incredible help if it could make it into the next tag.

@rasathus, see #30339. Also until the change is released, you shouldn't have to package all of salt for a changed execution module. Since execution modules are a plugin layer in salt, it is relatively easy to distribute custom modules to your minions by using the _modules directory under file_roots and then running salt '*' saltutil.sync_all.

If you put your changed version of upstart.py into /srv/salt/_modules or similar it should replace the standard version that comes with the salt release on the minions when you sync it down.

[rasathus]

Thank you. I hadn't realised it was possible to override standard modules
with this approach, but I will certainly keep it in mind for the future.
Thanks
