<br>
At the FESCo meeting on October 14th, it was decided that the time<br>
has come to finally complete the migration away from System V init<br>
scripts. What does this mean for you as a packager?<br>
<br>
When we branch from Rawhide for Fedora 24 (currently scheduled for<br>
February 2nd, 2016), we will be immediately retiring any package in<br>
the Fedora collection that relies on a System V init script instead of<br>
a systemd unit file to start. We will consider reasonable requests to<br>
delay this action on a case-by-case basis for anyone who submits a<br>
ticket to FESCo no later than 23:59 UTC on January 12, 2016.<br>
<br>
There is no plan to remove System V compatibility from Fedora, due to<br>
the necessity of supporting legacy third-party software. We are also<br>
not making any changes at all to the EPEL project. EPEL packages may<br>
continue to use System V init scripts (in the case of EPEL 5 and EPEL<br>
6, there is no other option).<br>
<br>
We will be going through the Wiki packaging documentation over the<br>
next month and updating all related entries to reflect this change in<br>
policy.<br>
<br>
This will be the first such announcement. The Change Wrangler will be<br>
sending additional reminders from now until February 2nd, so no one<br>
will be surprised by this event.<br>
