[Bug 1681993] Re: Systemd service for packages without support

[Marcos Alano]

The difference between the two follow below. We can see multiple packages don't have a sysvinit file anymore, like buildd. But there is a new package, though: mlat-client-adsbfi. This package wasn't in Oracular, but it's in Plucky. The problem is: It just has a sysvinit script. As I said before, systemd will remove support for sysvinit scripts. Usually, everything works because systemd generates a unit for the sysvinit services, but this is no more. I am not sure about what version, though. So maybe this is a valid concern for Plucky or perhaps just for QQ.

Title:
  Systemd service for packages without support

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This bug is a little (just a little!?) crazy: First I done some shell-
  fu:

  apt-file search /lib/systemd/system/|grep service|cut -d: -f1|uniq > systemd_service.txt
  apt-file search /etc/init.d/|cut -d: -f1|uniq  > sysvinit_service.txt
  diff systemd_service.txt sysvinit_service.txt|grep  '^\+' >just_sysvinit.txt


  The first command created a list with the packages with systemd
  services. I considered as systemd service any package with a .service
  file under /lib/systemd/system/.

  The second command created a list with the packages with sysvinit
  services. I considered a sysvinit service any package with a file
  under /etc/init.d/.

  The third command compares the two files and only select the packages
  with sysvinit service, but without a correspondent systemd service.
  This packages should have support for systemd too because systemd is
  now native on new Ubuntu releases. I don't think need hurry to change
  all packages because sysvinit support on systemd is solid, but I think
  we need to think about this.
