Package: open-iscsi Version: 2.0.874-5 Severity: normal Hi, I worked on this for Ubuntu where it is more of an issue since for various reasons iscsid is installed in many images by default. But even without that it is a general improvement to not have daemons running automatically after installing a package, especially as long as a user might not have set up a valid config that is juts a waste of resources.
Now fortunately iscsid can be socket activated via systemd. Fedora uses that for quite a while now and now Ubuntu switched in [1] to also use socket activation. Since the work we did for Ubuntu can benefit you just as much with the changes we did almost applying as-is I wanted to let you know by filing this bug and asking you to take a look at the changes in this [2] branch.
