My reading is that this is completely consistent with that guideline - the guideline states that the commands must be standalone helper scripts. That's what this supports - it just creates a standard location and integration point for those standalone helpers rather than having it completely ad-hoc. > > For each legacy option (such as "xyzzy") supported by your init script (such > > as "frobozz"), package an executable script named: > > /usr/libexec/initscripts/legacy-actions/frobozz/xyzzy > > What do we need to Require: for this?

You *could* require a new initscripts version once it's built, but I don't know that it's entirely needed - it will be pushed for F16/F17/F18, and initscripts is implicitly in the dependency chain for approximately everything already. No, it wouldn't need subpackaged. Bill -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
