[F29 only] Dropping requirements for initscripts package from specfiles

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello people,

I'm working on making Fedora being able to function completely without the 'initscripts' package (hopefully) some day in the future. I have done some cleanup in initscripts recently, and I would like to ask maintainers of packages listed below to check if their package(s) still really need the initscripts package to function properly (for any reason).

It seems that for many packages the requirement of initscripts is just a leftover from past. If the package does not need the initscripts any longer, please remove the requirement in Rawhide (F29) and forward. (Do not backport this change into F28 or F27, it would break things.)

NOTE: In case you are depending on initscripts because of networking scripts (ifup/ifdown, etc.), then you will need to update your specfile to depend directly on new package 'network-scripts' (instead of 'initscripts').

I've opened bug reports for each of the packages listed here, and created a tracking BZ for it:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1592330
