Package: systemd Version: 204-2 Severity: normal In case the name of a SysV init script does not correspond to the name of the systemd service file (e.g. /etc/init.d/network-manager, but /lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service, where the dash in the middle is the problem), we previously recommended people to use Alias=, e.g. Alias=network-manager.service in this case.
The issue with that is that the Alias= symlinks are enabled and disabled by systemctl enable|disable (also by deb-systemd-helper), whereas they should _always_ be present. Upstream suggested to just use a symlink, so that is what I am proposing. In the case of NetworkManager, we should ship /lib/systemd/system/network-manager.service -> NetworkManager.service Any objections so far? In case of service files that contain an @ (for instances), e.g. [email protected], we should ship a symlink that masks the SysV init script: /lib/systemd/system/stud.service -> /dev/null Any objections? Otherwise I’ll go ahead and update the Systemd/Packaging wiki page with the best practice on that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
