Description Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2011-06-27 13:20:48 UTC
Description of problem:

Currently your component is providing both native systemd service files and
legacy sysv init script in the same package which is in violation of the
packaging guidelines[1]. 

Once a native systemd service file is shipped and if the intention is to
continue to maintain and ship the old sysv initscript the old sysvinit  must go
into an optional subpackage.

"SysV Initscripts
Packages may also provide a SysV initscript file, but are not required to do
so. This format is considered legacy, but Fedora still contains init mechanisms
such as upstart which do not support the systemd unit file format. If present,
the SysV initscript(s) must go into an optional subpackage, so as not to
confuse sysadmins. The guidelines for SysV initscripts can be found here:
Packaging:SysVInitScript"

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 697532 ***

Comment 2 Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2011-06-27 13:37:15 UTC
Note this is filed against acpid which a) is not part of iputils hence not duplicate and b) still has the legacy init script in the same package

Comment 3 Jiri Skala 2011-06-27 13:45:04 UTC
Ah, sorry. There was already one duplicity against iputils and I was closing the bug against iputils so I've overlooked right component.
