Better late than never (and thanks to Michal Schmidt), I've added
support to
/sbin/service for running legacy actions if specified.
I'm confused. Only 2 months ago I was told that this was firmly
against policy and I should get rid of code that assumed it worked
(which, btw, it already did):
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/packaging/2012-April/008314.html
Did that packaging guideline get reverted already?
For each legacy option (such as "xyzzy") supported by your
init script (such
as "frobozz"), package an executable script named:
/usr/libexec/initscripts/legacy-actions/frobozz/xyzzy
What do we need to Require: for this? Is there still a requirement to
hide it in a foo-sysvinit subpackage?
