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

[Nick Rosbrook]

This is something we are tracking, because systemd is dropping support
for the systemd-sysv-generator in v258. Debian also has a report
tracking these packages, and bugs open to get native systemd services
defined:
https://people.debian.org/~zeha/missing_systemd_service_by_source.html.

We will need to have some kind of upgrade logic for packages that have
not made the final switch by then.

  Systemd service for packages without support

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.
