It's very application and local configuration specific. The "nginx" software, for example, may expect some very real configuration dependencies before startup to avoid conflicting with an active webserver on the same port. When configuration tools like chef or ansible install new configurations, the default configuration may not even be compatible with what they have previously set up, and the service restart would thus fail.until the rest of the deployment is completed. But if the rpm installation reports failure because of the failed service start, the configuration software may never be able to get past that reported failure. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
