Hi:
Supporting 2 different init systems comes with a large increase of possible usecases and scenarios that are very difficult to support correctly, specially in the long term.
This RFC proposes steps to permanently phase out sysvinit from future openSUSE releases.
Phase 0
- Fix all *currently* outstanding bugs of systemd if any, note that this step only deals with problems in systemd itself, not in service files installed by other packages, udev, kernel, networkmanager or whatever other thing.
- Determine which services currently lack of native systemd units.
- Add an rpmlint error with moderate badness for the start,complaining about the lack of unit files.
This much seems useful regardless of anything else, "Assuming" it can be done. How would rpmlint know that a package needs a unit file? After all, most don't. Also, is there a way the "badness" could be made more obvious. I don't think any of my packages have a init script, but if they did having a ever increasing badness would be totally hidden from me unless I happen to be looking at the build log. For stable packages, I don't suspect many of us do that. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
