Chkconfig operates on those directories, which means it is either supposed to own them or have a dependency on a package that owns them. (In reply to Lukáš Nykrýn from comment #1) > Chkconfig operates on those directories, which means it is either supposed > to own them or have a dependency on a package that owns them. But it can also do systemd one can it not? Yes it can, but I don't see that as an argument. But imagine the following scenario, during installation of a service with initscripts, you don't have to necessary install initscripts package first, since that is a runtime dependency, but you need to have chkconfig already, because it is used in scriptlets. And in such moments you need to have those directories and they need to be put there by chkconfig. Frankly if I can split out alternatives I really can't bring myself to care because I can remove chkconfig and hence the directories in the all the general Fedora use cases I care about |
In the vast majority of cases the legacy initscripts directories are no longer used, in the cases where they are the packages now need to depend on initscripts package anyway which provides these directories. chkconfig itself is useful without these directories (or a dependency on initscripts). diff --git a/chkconfig.spec b/chkconfig.spec index c79f7bb..fcf6b94 100644 --- a/chkconfig.spec +++ b/chkconfig.spec @@ -38,12 +38,6 @@ make check %install make DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT MANDIR=%{_mandir} SBINDIR=%{_sbindir} install -mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/rc.d/init.d -ln -s rc.d/init.d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/init.d -for n in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6; do - mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/rc.d/rc${n}.d - ln -s rc.d/rc${n}.d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/rc${n}.d -done mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/chkconfig.d %find_lang %{name} @@ -54,12 +48,6 @@ mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/chkconfig.d /sbin/chkconfig %{_sbindir}/update-alternatives %{_sbindir}/alternatives -/etc/chkconfig.d -/etc/init.d -/etc/rc.d -/etc/rc.d/init.d -/etc/rc[0-6].d -/etc/rc.d/rc[0-6].d %dir /var/lib/alternatives %{_mandir}/*/chkconfig* %{_mandir}/*/update-alternatives*
