I don't think this is really feasible atm. See my earlier comment. Atm, you can't override orderings/dependencies via drop-ins. So such a generator would have to recreate the unit files altogether, replicating what the sysv-generator does. I agree with Lennart, that adding support to systemd to allow such overrides via drop-ins/unwants/ or whatever they are called, is certainly the nicer solution. That said, as one of the Debian systemd maintainers, I could probably be convinced to add the insserv override support as a downstream patch for jessie. We are pretty late into the freeze though, so this would require an ack from our release managers. Going forward, I'd like to drop support for insserv compat in jessie+1 as soon as possible. That includes the insserv-generator, which parses /etc/insserv.conf(.d) -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
