That's not particularly relevant, becuase the old way of doing things still works, even though it is deprecated by the guidelines. > We got some new wiki pages [2] - How to enable a service by default ? > > Services are enabled or disabled by default through systemd preset files Yes. This centralizes the policy as to which services should be enabled by default.

Yes, that still works, but should be converted to the new way of doing things. So most likely you'd want to first file a bug against fedora-release (see below), and after it is resolved, modify your package to use %systemd_post. > Other wiki page shows that PackagePresets are from Fedora 18 ! [3] That is when this functionality was originally introduced. What changed now is that presets has become *the* official way to enable services by default. It is less convenient for packagers, but is more convenient for admins and products. > And what is the best way to set a preset for a service ? that we want > enable by default, when is installed . > Note: I'm asking this because I don't saw any example on package > guidelines. [2] shows the syntax in the spec file (common for all services), and [3] shows the additional steps which need to be taken for enabled-by-default services.
