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').
It would be useful to do a similar change for chkconfig and split out
the alternatives binaries into a separate package as a bunch of the
chkconfig stuff is directly related to sys V and the initscripts
package.
