He's not suggesting turning services on by default just by installing pacakges (I don't think). I think his request here is similar to our Fedora Server Roles idea where there are special "packages" (possibly meta-packages) that are separate from the simple installed bits. So you might have the server-role-dhcp package that 'Requires: dhcp' but also provides either a default (and reasonably-secure) configuration or some mechanism to interactively configure and deploy a DHCP server. So if someone installed the 'dhcp' package on its own, this would not autostart it. However, if someone deployed the DHCP Server role, that should be considered a sufficiently intentional action to start it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlLmrQwACgkQeiVVYja6o6MG8QCgsQDPrJx7IhGcKK0TfiruFxhJ 1BEAoKo3ze3+vEzGUZ9L3tIDoa4K1lbQ =vGV/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
