Just encountered this looking at /etc/sysconfig/sendmail: diff between last release and systemd -- all of the comments that listed the commands on how to do various sendmail maintenance functions were removed. They were comments!!! # diff /Nroot/etc/sysconfig/sendmail /etc/sysconfig/sendmail 7d6 < ## Command: /usr/lib/sendmail.d/update 17d15 < ## Command: /usr/lib/sendmail.d/update 41d38 .... 295d272 < ## Command: /usr/lib/sendmail.d/update 306d282 < ## Command: /usr/lib/sendmail.d/update --- There was no reason to change this file at all, but to make things more 'grand' -- they [werner Fink], didn't leave ".rpmold" or put his changes in .rpmnew -- they just edited (comment removal only that I saw in this case) them in place. --- the various sendmail rc scripts that did a good job of extracting options from the /etc/sendmail.cf config file -- replaced by "semi-hidden" (in /etc/mail/system -- not a standard location for storing service start/stop scripts -- except w/systemd. A wonderful benefit -- used to be the scripts were all in /etc/init.d/xxx but now, they can all be put in private, non-standard locations to obfuscate how systemd runs. I'm not one to rant on systemd other than for substantiated reasons like this. Again -- I will say this again -- the systemd people created a war with me by sabotage like this. If they had provided backward compat options... I would have loved them -- Many of their ideas were good ideas on Windows -- Win7, at least for 5-6 years and I've often tried to mention good features in windows that would make linux better (though I have more issues of problems in windows, and probably have more 'hate MS feelings', than their positive ideas have influenced me). Most of those hate feelings come from their manipulation of customers and the marketplace to force ideas down their throats. I don't like that behavior in MS or in linux, but now systemd supporters are adopting MS's behaviors. I know MS has done the embrace, extend, extinguish thing to lock in customers and force them onto "rental plans" -- end-users are the last to be converted to that. Adobe did it to their end users ~2 years ago and I disassociated myself with their community -- as they were all going on to monthly/yearly plans and would all have the newer SW that I couldn't buy. Big game companies are doing simpler with game clients that always have to be connected and have your system monitored. The two worst in that category - EA/Bioware/MassEffect3. I bought the game. I've never played the game I bought despite many calls to EA support -- but I have played versions with all the addons that had the anti-customer DRM removed. I never got to play online with other users, but I at least got all their extras for free -- and I still have the $60, legal/licensed copy that won't work. Another game recently -- also online -- after I downloaded 30G(!!!!) of textures -- I tried to login -- it wouldn't let me -- as it said that I had some "monitoring" software running that they considered cheating (they didn't say what the SW was, but in their help pages, I saw one of the largest offenders were real-time malware scanners (like Microsoft's Home Security Essentials). Real interesting. They were uninstalled in less than a day. So please realize that the harder you attempt to force your ideas of mandatory control on users -- the more users you will lose -- because of system problems -- who may still want to use your products -- but will only have the option of using the DRM-neutered ones that will actually work on their machines). *sad* Linda p.s. sorry for going 'off topic', but the stuff happening w/suse lately has really reminded me of the capitalist, bought and owned government that continues sell out to the highest bidder. It really tastes bitter. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
