FPC and FESCo recently approved packaging guidelines for initscripts http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript . According to those guidelines only services which are really required for a vital system should define runlevels as the first parameter on the '# chkconfig: #' line in the initscript. Please consider changing the initscripts in this package.
Could you give me more info about the definition of "vital system" then? IMHO just a few services are a must to be run at the boot up time though, after looking around bugzilla, I'm not quite sure what that is. and it may depends if it's running as a server or desktop etc. in that sense httpd, samba and sendmail even doesn't need to be run. which wasn't filed.
httpd has 'chkconfig: - 85 15' samba has 'chkconfig: - 91 35' for nmb and 'chkconfig: - 91 35' for smb So those two didn't need a bugzilla. sendmail is a 'vital' package as it is required to deliver local mail from cron jobs and such. Canna might be vital for machines configured for japanese locales but aren't of any value for all other systems. I didn't check your initscript besides the chkconfig line, do you check /etc/sysconfig/i18n and bail out without starting the service when the language setting isn't ja_* ? In that case using default runlevels would be ok.
Sure. thank you for clarification. since the locale can be set up differently per users, determining from the system locale if the service should be running or not wouldn't be a good idea. so I just got rid of them from the initscript in 3.7p3-24.
