This is a nice example of how discussions on this list go off into the weeds in no time. 'compiling initscripts' ? come on, that is just silly. Nobody is proposing such a thing. It is completely clear that there needs to be some flexibility in any init system to cater to real-world services. But it is also clear that there is a difference between gobs of shell script and nice and clean files like the ones you find in /etc/init. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
