cherokee is enabled / automatically started after package installation - but it should only run if user configure it

Description of problem: cherokee is automatically enabled after installation of the package. But I think that it should be disabled after package installation and should not start automatically because - Administrators should be able to install software packages in a save way. That means that they should be able to install software packages for potential use sometimes later, without the risk that it does more than just storing the files in the filesystem. This should be true for any software that is not neccessary for the system (e.g., it is useful that sshd is started so the system is accessable through the network, but a web server should not run automatically). - For security reasons there should be no unneccessary running network service. - There are more than one webserver software packages. The administrator should be able to install more than one software package that provides a service at port 80, so if every software package that provide a service at port 80 would start that service after installation, the software packages would clash as only one can use port 80. It's the administrators choise which software / service should use port 80 - and if there should be a service at that port at all. So no webserver at all should be enabled automatically after package installation. - A webserver need to be configured by the administrator. An "empty" local webserver does not make much sense. So I think that to write the command "systemctl enable cherokee" is not to much to do if _this_ webserver should be enabled (and working). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cherokee-1.2.103-1.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install -y cherokee 2. systemctl status cherokee Actual results: Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cherokee.service; enabled) Expected results: Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cherokee.service; disabled) Additional info: "rpm -q --scripts cherokee" indicates the reason of this behavior: postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): if [ $1 -eq 1 ] ; then # Initial installation: enabled by default /bin/systemctl enable cherokee.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || : fi
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.
