FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stephen Gallagher <sgallagh(a)redhat.com&gt; Date: Wed, Oct 28, 2015 at 7:12 PM Subject: System V to systemd unit migration To: devel-announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 At the FESCo meeting on October 14th, it was ​decided that the time has come to finally complete the migration away from System V init scripts. What does this mean for you as a packager? When we branch from Rawhide for Fedora 24 (currently ​scheduled for February 2nd, 2016), we will be immediately retiring any package in the Fedora collection that relies on a System V init script instead of a systemd unit file to start. We will consider reasonable requests to delay this action on a case-by-case basis for anyone who ​submits a ticket to FESCo no later than 23:59 UTC on January 12, 2016. There is no plan to remove System V compatibility from Fedora, due to the necessity of supporting legacy third-party software. We are also not making any changes at all to the EPEL project. EPEL packages may continue to use System V init scripts (in the case of EPEL 5 and EPEL 6, there is no other option). We will be going through the Wiki packaging documentation over the next month and updating all related entries to reflect this change in policy. This will be the first such announcement. The Change Wrangler will be sending additional reminders from now until February 2nd, so no one will be surprised by this event. _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology.
