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'). I've opened bug reports for each of the packages listed here, and created a tracking BZ for it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1592330 List of packages still depending on initscripts (some of them were already fixed): 3proxy barry boomaga-selinux Canna clamsmtp conmux crossfire-selinux cyphesis device-mapper-multipath dpm-xrootd ebnetd-common exim exim-clamav foghorn freeipa-client glpi groonga-munin-plugins groonga-server-gqtp iipsrv isdn4k-utils kbd libstoragemgmt mailman-3 nightview-server node ntop numad omniORB openslp-server os-net-config pcp pcsc-cyberjack pgbouncer plymouth ppp pure-ftpd-selinux ratbox-services sagator-core spacewalk-config spamassassin spawn-fcgi sslogger systemtap-initscript systemtap-server tigervnc-server-minimal torque-mom torque-scheduler torque-server trafficserver varnish vdsm vhostmd vpnc vte vte291 vte3 wine-desktop xboxdrv Thank you, and best regards! :) David Kaspar [Dee'Kej] *Associate Software Engineer* *Brno, Czech Republic* RED HAT | TRIED.
