One that is before the conversion and has sysv init scripts and one that is after the conversion and has systemd unit files. The rpm packages contain small (usually shell) scripts that allow the package to register themselves with the init system. These will turn the service on if that's allowed by policy, restart the service if it's already running, stop the service before uninstallation, etc. The proposed Packaging Guidelines for systemd: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/TomCallaway/Systemd_Revised_Draft Needs to contain the necessary scriptlets for packages that use systemd unit files. At the moment, the draft only contains scriptlets for a default-off case. We also need scriptlets for services which autostart and for services which bus activate. Given that FESCo seems to be moving towards a policy that allows a broad range of services to autostart, we probably need the autostart guidelines in place soon. The bus activated scriptlets are needed but we may be able to delay as it sounds like we only want a few services to be bus activated anyway and those services can be started as normal until we have guidelines on how they need to be set to autostart. The scriptlets that we currently have do not work in testing. I have tested the migration path from a sysv init script using service to an upgraded package using systemd unit files and that doesn't work. at some point someone also needs to test the upgrade between systemd unit file using services but I personally haven't had time for that yet. The FPC ticket has the steps that would constitute a good test of those services. Without guidelines that work, current work to port to systemd unit files could have several undesirable effects. Least critically would be that the ported packages would need to be revisited to have their spec files updated. Most critically, the unit file using packages would break end users systems when they upgrade the package from F15 to F14. -Toshio
