Anyway, this of course requires some buy-in from the distributions, so I'd like to ask the distro maintainers for comments on this. Do you think this would be useful to you? Any other suggestions, ideas?
Note that even if we implement this in systemd (which is very likely) it is of course up to the distros to make use of this. If they still want to enable (or disable) all services unconditionally then they can still do so in RPM scrips, but we'd of course greatly welcome if distros would support this new scheme instead of cooking their own.
sounds like a plan
since it will be default-enabled, a provision should exist to include a preset default-disabled so it is not necessary to singularly disable every unwanted service that is installed.
disable all enable 1, 2, 3
Yeah, that works (with a different syntax ;). I expect that openSUSE to ship a default that reflects what we do today: - by default disable everything - enable a few services The proposal supports this. The nice thing is that it also allows different profiles, e.g. a server or a desktop profile - or a paranoia one ;) - that can be implemented via separate packages without touching the service packages itself, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE aj@{suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
