Hallo all,
Reading the discussion about dropping sysv init, it seems the number of people are opposing against it is big. I have an idea for people wiling to maintain and use it in the future.
It is trivial to create a community project dedicated to that task. All you need is to have a devel project (Base:sysvinit), where you will maintain sysvinit and all needed init scripts. As our software stack is really powerfull, it can be done easily. This is the snippet of the spec file providing the init script for vsftpd.
Name: vsftpd-sysv Description: Sysvinit script for vsftpd Supplements: packagageand(sysvinit:vsftpd) Requires: sysvinit Requires: vsftpd Source0: vsftpd.init
%post %{inserv ...
The biggest advantage is that there will be a group of people taking a care about sysvinit, which is better from what we have now.
The disadvantage (or maybe an advantage) is that the amount of needed work will be probably huge, especially adapting on upcomming changes in Factory. I'm talking especially about Gnome, where systemd is (planned to be) integrated into core parts (gdm, gnome-session, ...) and the Supplements trick won't work here, so the $sysvinit project will be enforced to provide own packages in some cases.
But in anycase, the future is in your hands ...
BTW: I am not going to be a part of such project as I support systemd migration - I just wanted to raise my idea to you

Please count me in to help with sysvinit maintenance.
Hallo Bernhard,
it's cool to have someone is willing to do the work - anyway I do not want to work on sysvinit, I'm the one from the enemy camp ;-) So please take the chance and you can (at least try to) define things you like.
OK. To better coordinate this work, I started http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Sysvinit
It really does not make sense to do this, guys! An example: inittab is not used by systemd so on an systemd system, I propose to have an empty file with a few comments about systemd. The same will happen in other places.
