In the absence of guidelines, it is certainly right to leave it to the packager. Now if you want to draft a packaging policy regarding upstart, I guess it would be welcomed. That being said, it seems that the new init system, systemd is already in the pipe. Doing a policy for an obsolete technology may be some time lost. Maybe even better would be preparing a policy for systemd scripts than doing a policy for upstart vs sysvinit. -- Pat -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
