Hi,
This is to announce that we'll soon drop support for DISABLE_RESTART_ON_UPDATE and DISABLE_STOP_ON_REMOVAL variables defined in /etc/sysonfig/service.
These variables allow users to prevent *all* daemons from being restarted while their configuration, plugins, libraries or whatever on disk they depend on have changed. This can lead to various inconsistencies and also prevent security updates from being applied.
While a few packages might have good reasons to not be restarted (because they simply don't support it like it was the case for logind) this should be handled at package level and handled by the package maintainer but not turned off for all services (!) by users that might not fully understand the consequences.
So unless someone comes up with a real use case, support for these variables will be dropped in a near future.
Can we please just use the upstream systemd rpm macros? Dropping these behaviors makes it so that there's little value in maintaining our horribly out of date fork of the macros. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
