In https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Systemd I read that conversion of a package using a SysV initscript to systemd units requires a trigger with a "< NEVR" condition, and that # Note: the NEVR in trigger scripts should all be the version in # which the package switched to systemd unit files and the comparision # should be less than. Using <= the last version with the sysV script won't # work for several reasons: # 1) disttag is different between Fedora releases # 2) An update in an old Fedora release may create a newer NEVR # Note that this means an update in an older Fedora release must be NEVR # lower than this. Freezing the version and release of the old package and # using a number after the disttag is one way to do this. Example: # httpd-1.0-1%{?dist} => httpd-1.0-1%{?dist}.1 IOW, once I push a mysql update with native systemd support into rawhide, I'll be forbidden from ever rebasing mysql in F15 up to a newer upstream patch release. Considering that upstream issues bug-fix releases about once a month, this is hardly acceptable. I'll have the same problem with postgresql, too. What's seeming like a better option is to bump the package's Epoch for the systemd-native release.
