In general I think most packages don't touch it. The main one I can think of that does is ssh. The closest thing I see regarding this from Fedora Packaging Guidelines is (not the definitive, but the one I use most) buried in the ScripletSnippets page ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets#Systemd) and says: On upgrade, a package may only restart a service if it is running; it may not start it if it is off. In the following page they discuss the use of 'condrestart' to ensure the above behavior, doesn't talk about systemd handling though. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SysVInitScript I thought I had seen something else stating something mroe specific but I can't find it now. -greg _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
