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" http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines:Systemd https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Systemd http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Tmpfiles.d Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
What's the current status of you are one of few that is not package native systemd unit in the Base group correctly? If you dont have the time to fix this should I try to find a proven packager to do the work for you? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines:Systemd https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Systemd https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Tmpfiles.d
Created attachment 515381 [details] Spec file patch for gpm Note this has to be cleanup before thursday
thanks for patch, I really appreciate it! Honestly, your patch is not applicable, because 1) --- file_not_specified_in_diff +++ file_not_specified_in_diff I know that this is a diff between spec file, but '$ patch' does not 2) you are in git man! '$ git commit -sm "message"' and '$ git format-patch -1' will do a great job for you ;)
