Hi Michael, I've taken the maintenance of OpenVSwitch only very recently, I was not the one that wrote this. What does SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT does? I will indeed remove it as I trust you, but I'd like to understand first. Also, I tried to add some systemd service files, taking them from Ubuntu, but quickly reverted, as it failed badly. Michael, could you help me to write something better? Here's the commit reverting the previous addition of Ubuntu's .service files: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/openstack/third-party/openvswitch.git/commit/?id=02178a600660694bd9886652642e23952b9f93ac Any comment here? Also, as for this specific bug, what do you suggest to do for the Stretch version, keeping in mind that the stable release team wont accept too much change? Thanks in advance if you can help, Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
