Hi Michael, Michael Biebl <bi...@debian.org> writes: > dh-systemd generates that sets _DEB_SYSTEMD_HELPER_PURGE=1 in postrm > which modifies the behaviour of "deb-systemd-helper disable" For people unfamiliar with the situation: the intention originally was to use the same verbs that systemctl offers so that deb-systemd-helper is a drop-in replacement, which can be swapped out for calling systemctl directly in the future.
Given that we have a couple of custom verbs by now and would need to change maintscripts anyway, this bugreport is not entirely unreasonable :-). > I think it would be nicer, to use an explicit verb for that special > cleanup, i.e. "deb-systemd-helper purge". Agreed. What keeps me from simply doing that is that I don’t know how exactly we would safely transition from what we have currently to using “deb-systemd-helper purge”, i.e. whether it would require adding a Pre-Depends or something like that to ensure that scripts keep working everywhere in the configuration phase. That whole thinking and migrating hardly seems worth the effort, IMO, so I will not work on that. Patches accepted in case they come with enough solid testing and research to convince me that my concern above is adressed :-). -- Best regards, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
