Yes, it means wait 10 years, just as it does for most software using "/bin/rm" and "/bin/mkdir". Or at least don't aggressively go update *every single* init script using package in a way that breaks compatibility with every older distribution for no performance gain. Switch to systemd instead, which actually gets you an improvement. There are examples of just how to do that in my Samba 4.0.3 backport to RHEL 6 work at: In particular, if you have to backport a systemd written Fedora package to older Fedora or RHEL, use something like this from https://github.com/nkadel/samba-4.0.3-srpm/blob/master/samba.spec. I've somewhat simplified the example below to leave out the more complex domain controller and winbind examples, but it's solid working code, and I'd resent having to stuff in another set of conditionals because the "/sbin/chkconfig" and "/sbin/server" paths, which will remain valid, are simply not mentioned in another more basic RPM. # Use systemd, not SysV init scripts, as appropriate %if 0%{?fedora} > 15 || 0%{?rhel} > 6 %global with_systemd 1 %else %global with_systemd 0 %endif # RHEL specific init scripts, in case systemd not available Source100: nmb.init Source101: smb.init %if %with_systemd Requires(post): systemd Requires(preun): systemd Requires(postun): systemd %else Requires(post): /sbin/chkconfig, /sbin/service Requires(preun): /sbin/chkconfig, /sbin/service Requires(postun): /sbin/chkconfig, /sbin/service %endif %if %with_systemd install -d -m 0755 %{buildroot}%{_unitdir} %if %with_dc for i in nmb smb ; do %else for i in nmb smb; do %endif # with_dc cat packaging/systemd/$i.service | sed -e 's@Type=forking@Type=forking\nEnvironment=KRB5CCNAME=/run/samba/krb5cc_samba@g' >tmp$i.service install -m 0644 tmp$i.service %{buildroot}%{_unitdir}/$i.service done %else install -d -m 0755 %{buildroot}%{_initrddir} install -m 0755 %{SOURCE100} %{buildroot}%{_initrddir}/nmb install -m 0755 %{SOURCE101} %{buildroot}%{_initrddir}/smb %endif # with_systemd %post %if %with_systemd %systemd_post smb.service %systemd_post nmb.service %else /sbin/chkconfig --add smb /sbin/chkconfig --add nmb if [ "$1" -ge "1" ]; then /sbin/service smb condrestart >/dev/null 2>&1 || : /sbin/service nmb condrestart >/dev/null 2>&1 || : fi %endif # with_systemd -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
