It would seem more advantageous to change the systemd package, and provide an extra binary there that reuses the parser code to give users the possibility to start/stop/restart programs using unit files in a non-systemd environment. .
First, I don't see the point of doing a separate package at all for sysvinit compatibility. Second, if people want to use .service, they should use systemd. I don't want us to spend time in doing some strange backport from one new technology to another one when plan to drop. -- Frederic Crozat <fcrozat@suse.com> SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hi, The separate package will split the responsibility from regular openSUSE maintainer/packager when systemd will be the only one possibility. I personally see no value in shipping unused sysv script once sysv will be deprecated.
Second, if people want to use .service, they should use systemd. I don't want us to spend time in doing some strange backport from one new technology to another one when plan to drop.
AFACS Debian plans to have some .service -> init scripts converter, but that is a job for people willing to maintain sysvinit. Regards Michal Vyskocil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
