Folks are supposed to upgrade their init.d scripts to support LSB. Some of this is covered here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FCNewInit/Initscripts One aspect of that is to switch from sourcing /etc/init.d/functions to sourcing /lib/lsb/init-functions. However the two init function libraries do not export the same functions, nor is one a proper subset of the other. If one wants to use the same init script on different Fedora versions and/or different RHEL versions is it safe to assume the lsb functions will exist and be properly implemented? In what releases will a lsb compliant init script run correctly? Does one have to require redhat-lsb in your RPM spec file? Are you supposed to do something like this so the lsb functions override the init.d functions but the init.d function such as "status" are not absent? if test -f /lib/lsb/init-functions; then . /lib/lsb/init-functions fi . /etc/init.d/functions If so I guess you also have to test for the existence of /lib/lsb/init-functions before you can know if you're going to call "daemon" or "start_daemon", right? (yuck). Am I missing a pointer to documentation where all this is explained? Are the bugs opened against init scripts a red herring because this stuff has not been figured out yet as alluded to on July 5th? If so maybe my above questions need to be addressed in the wiki. -- John Dennis <jdennis@xxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
