I'm in favor of providing a good, reliable, correct set of startup files for each of the major distro flavors. One of my main reasons for that is it makes it possible for us to try and provide some level of startup script parity and commonality between the distros. And allows us to fix bugs across all the distros as once even if we didn't necessarily hit the bug on each distro. Of course, the distros may ignore our scripts, but we can try. > > Is Debian the only major distro that still ships init scripts? > Does FC/RH exclusively ship systemd unit files now? We're almost entirely systemd now. We only have EL 6 that still uses init scripts, and I doubt we will ever put this package into EL 6. So, we might as well be all systemd as far as this repo is concerned. > Maybe we should delete the initscripts entirely. Not if Debian still uses it. And I'm not opposed to providing a Red Hat init script in case someone wants to put this package on EL 6 themselves. > 2) I'd like to support cross-distro systemd unit files upstream. > Is that feasible?

I'd like to basically import the entire redhat rdma package into this, but it will take a little sorting things out to get all of the files and such in the right place. And that's a precursor to our srpd unit file as it lists a specific dependency on the rdma unit file. -- Doug Ledford <dledford@xxxxxxxxxx> GPG Key ID: 0E572FDD Red Hat, Inc. 100 E.
