Description Mark McLoughlin 2011-08-30 07:05:37 UTC
According to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SysVInitScript

  "SysV initscripts are no longer the default, they have been obsoleted by 
   systemd unit files"

Also, I had a TODO item to add tmpfiles.d configuration, but I don't think that'll be needed once we switch to systemd units? See:

  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Tmpfiles.d

We would have needed:

Comment 3 Mark McLoughlin 2011-08-30 20:52:45 UTC
Angus has pushed his excellent patch to fix this, but I just wanted to add a
note for completeness

Upgrading from the version of the package containing the initscripts doesn't
work because we haven't implemented the trigger described here:

  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Systemd

Since the package is brand new and only a handful of people have installed it,
I'm fine with that

Now, we might (conceivably, but unlikely) in future create a repo with Fedora
14 packages and these will contain initscripts. When these users update their
systems to F15 or later, the initscript to systemd migration wouldn't work. Not
something I'm going to lose sleep over.

Same thing for the EPEL6 packages I guess, but I don't think there's a
supported migration path to worry about there.

Ya, I saw the trigger but given that's pretty much new I left it out.
