From what I observe, in most cases, I've seen init scripts depending on /etc/sysconfig which seems reasonable to me.
In that case you should not be put out s things move from sysvinit to systemd and those same config files and same config parameters are used. After all, they are system init parameters, not there for general programmers and all and sundry. Take a look in /usr/share for some other _application_ parameters. I admit that is not the nicest lace for some, especially some like KDM.
Yast sysconfig as a centralize solution seems reasonable to me as well.
And its nicer than the way yum works which is, by comparison, incomplete.
I am not adept with openSUSE internals, albeit to some it seems legacy, however it's still useful. Running all over the place to configure various aspect of openSUSE seems cumbersome to me.
:-) I note the way you said that; you seem to mean 'system' rather than application.
I do agree that software developers solely depending on /etc/sysconfig for configurations settings *MAY* lead to unintended consequences but it's still useful.
So how are you differentiating between someone who writes a system facility, such as DNS, DHCPD, SSHD, from someone who writes an application such as VIM or a desktop widget? After all, they are both 'software developers'. -- "...Then anyone who leaves behind him a written manual, and likewise anyone who receives it, in the belief that such writing will be clear and certain, must be exceedingly simple-minded..." -- Plato, _Phaedrus_ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
