Definitely something worth keeping in mind. Yes, it's actually the eventual RHEL transition that scares me more than F15. Given all the problems created by the (premature IMO) systemd transition, anybody running database servers on F15 is already accustomed to pain. Michal Hlavinka's solution of explicitly testing for the old sysv init script seems like a win from here, since I don't intend to continue packaging that. Anyone have an objection to that approach? regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
