Description Andy Lutomirski 2014-05-06 17:23:29 UTC
My query script thinks that sendmail has a script or trigger that directly enables a systemd unit using 'systemctl enable'.  It probably should not.  Please update this packages to use the macroized scriptlet (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Systemd).

If your package has an exception from FESCo permitting it to enable
itself, please make sure that the service in question is listed in the
appropriate preset file.

There is a general exception described here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Starting_services_by_default

If your package falls under the general exception, then it is possible
that no change is required.  Nevertheless, if you are relying on the
exception, please make sure that your rpm scripts are sensible.  The
exception is:

In addition, any service which does not remain persistent on the system (aka, it "runs once then goes away"), does not listen to incoming connections during initialization, and does not require configuration to be functional may be enabled by default (but is not required to do so). An example of "runs once then goes away" service is iptables.

Given that this issue can affect Fedora 20 users who install your
package as a dependency, this bug should be fixed in Fedora 20 and
Rawhide.

Comment 1 Jaroslav Škarvada 2015-02-26 15:57:56 UTC
It is only trigger for backward compatibility when upgrading from non-systemd to systemd based system.

I think it can be safely removed now.

Otherwise the %systemd_* macros are used.

Comment 2 Jaroslav Škarvada 2015-02-26 16:18:07 UTC
Removed in rawhide (f23).
