Description

There's two things here: 1. Changing presets and rebooting does not change whether the service is enabled or not. Presets are only used when a package is initially installed (or when systemctl preset is called manually). So for your 00-test.preset config to take effect, you'd need to call systemctl preset yourself. 2. If we ignore point 1., it is true that fedora-readonly.service is enabled "permanently" and cannot be configured through presets. It probably should. To do that, we'll need two changes: first add fedora-readonly.service to the presets distributed in fedora-release, and then update the initscripts package to enable it using presets. Considering that properly fixing this is going to take a while, for now you can just do 'systemctl mask fedora-readonly.service' to disable it. I concur and think this should happen. It took me a while to hunt this down with everything seemingly contradicting my expectations. Point #1 is valid, but not really the issue here for me because this is all occurring in a live spin used for embedded systems. Thus the package is being installed anew for my tests. Thanks for the quick feedback! Is there anything I can help do to move this along? (I don't have any authority to improve Fedora packages beyond providing patches -- I've long meant to go through the steps but never quite get there. Still I'm willing to help in any way I can.) Thanks for the offer to help. In this particular case the change is simple, but it's spread out over multiple components (fedora-release, initscripts), so the trouble is in coordinating all the changes. I just heard back from the initscripts maintainers and I'll be pushing those changes through. If you want to get involved in Fedora, I'd be happy to help. I'm a "packaging sponsor". If you are interested, please drop a note (my bugzilla e-mail is OK), what you are interested in, and we can work something out. Let's consolidate the two bugs. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1493479 *** |
