Description of problem: chkconfig's LSB dependency support consists of reordering the Sxx/Kxx links due to specified LSB dependencies at 'chkconfig --add' time. In a systemd world, this is more or less irrelevant - systemd itself will do the ordering at runtime. (We could rip this code out and simplify a lot of things...) However, there is one area where there is a problem. By the spec definition, install_initd/remove_initd must check dependencies at install/remove time, and *fail* the operation if there are dependency errors. In a SysV world, this worked OK, because chkconfig knew about the state of everything. However, now that assorted services that LSB sysv scripts might depend on have moved to systemd, this won't work - chkconfig doesn't know what the LSB state is. When called as install_initd/remove_initd chkconfig must scan for all configured systemd services and use their enabled status to determine this. Potential solutions: 1) trawl the filesystem ourselves in chkconfig 2) screenscrape systemctl 3) build install_initd/remove_initd as part of systemd itself, using *its* code directly to do this work Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): any How reproducible: 100%
I will probably go with second option. But first we should implement this RFE to systemd #795365.
Created attachment 695137 [details] chkconfig patch With this patch chkconfig will ask for information about systemd services through systemctl show and then will try to convert target dependencies to runlevel logic. This method has some drawbacks, this will not work in pure chroot because systemctl show requires dbus and I am also not sure how to process lsb dependencies like $syslog, $time,... In some cases these can be rewritten as *.target but not all of them.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
