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
