tools/hotplug: don't install init.d scripts if SYSTEMD

[PATCH] tools/hotplug: don't install init.d scripts if SYSTEMD

Posted by Stefano Stabellini 2 years, 9 months ago

When Xen is configured with --with-systemd currently both the systemd
init scripts as well as the traditional init.d scripts (e.g. xencommons)
are installed.

This causes issues to distros where old style init scripts are still
supported even when systemd is enabled, e.g. Yocto. The consequence is
that xenconsoled (and other daemons) are executed twice resulting in
errors at boot.

If --with-systemd don't install xencommons and the other sysvinit
scripts.

I agree with the intent, but just because you want the systemd files
doesn't mean you don't want the sysvinit files.  (Also, I've been trying
to persuade Alpine or Gentoo to upstream the OpenRC config files too,
which would make a 3rd).

There wants to be --with-sysvinit (defaulting to y) to controlling this,
at which point a packager can chose any/all initsystems worth of config.
