Probably %pre should be %pre filesystem

And other issue with service xinetd reload when xinetd not running.

> Probably %pre should be %pre filesystem

a better solution is to not set %{_libdir}/%{name} own by firebird user and group
I have a patch for that, just waiting for upstream approval

will check that

Comment 5 Remi Collet 2009-05-12 12:35:43 UTC
I don't understand why you need to "service xinetd reload"

1/ It's a common usage in fedora to not activate such service on install (mysql, pgsql, ...)

2/ A better solution is to use chkconfig which will notify xinetd if running and needed

/sbin/chkconfig firebird on

Comment 6 Philippe Makowski 2009-05-12 13:18:31 UTC
there is two "kind" of Firebird 
superserver is setup as you say, and user have do launch firebird service itself

For classic, that use xinetd, I made like I saw in other packages in Fedora using xinetd, and almost all do the reload 
and it don't hurt anything by definition of what is xinetd
but if really need, I can change that, may be let this change to the next upstream release ?

or does it really hurt a Fedora, Centos, RHEL rule ?
