# initscripts
|
||||
This repository contains source code for **legacy** *System V [initscripts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Init)*,
|
||||
which are primarily used in *[Linux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux) distributions like e.g.*:
|
||||
* [Fedora](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_(operating_system))
|
||||
* [Red Hat Enterprise Linux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux)
|
||||
* [CentOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CentOS)
|
||||
* and some others as well...
|
||||
|
||||
Since most of the major Linux distributions have already switched to
|
||||
*[systemd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd)*, the *initscripts concept* is
|
||||
quite outdated nowadays. *As a result, this repository provides primarily only
|
||||
the support for other initscripts that might still exist out there.*
|
||||
|
||||
The above mentioned support includes e.g. the
|
||||
[`/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions`](https://github.com/fedora-sysv/initscripts/blob/master/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions)
|
||||
or
|
||||
[`/usr/sbin/service`](https://github.com/fedora-sysv/initscripts/blob/master/usr/sbin/service)
|
||||
files.
|
||||
|
||||
Another functionality this source code provides includes:
|
||||
* [`network-scripts`](https://github.com/fedora-sysv/initscripts/tree/master/network-scripts) - **legacy** scripts for manipulating of network devices
|
||||
* [`readonly-root`](https://github.com/fedora-sysv/initscripts/blob/master/usr/lib/systemd/readonly-root) - service for configuring the read-only root support
|
||||
* [`netconsole`](https://github.com/fedora-sysv/initscripts/blob/master/etc/rc.d/init.d/netconsole) - service for initializing of network console logging
|
||||
|
||||
For the *[RPM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rpm_(software))* based distributions
|
||||
we also provide a [`specfile`](https://github.com/fedora-sysv/initscripts/blob/master/initscripts.spec)
|
||||
for easier packaging.
|
||||
|
||||
## Future of initscripts
|
||||
As mentioned above, the *initscripts concept* is outdated nowadays, and de-facto
|
||||
obsolete. Most of the work on this repository is just a maintenance, and we do
|
||||
**not** plan on extending the support for initscripts in the future in any way.
|
||||
|
||||
We intend to convert the rest of the remaining services into *systemd* units,
|
||||
and remove them eventually if possible.
|
||||
|
||||
And we have also started our work on decomissioning of
|
||||
[`network-scripts`](https://github.com/fedora-sysv/initscripts/tree/master/network-scripts)
|
||||
as well. This means no new functionality will be added into them. In case you
|
||||
need some you should ask for it to be implemented
|
||||
in *[NetworkManager](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetworkManager)*, if it isn't
|
||||
already.
|
||||
|
||||
## No longer active branches
|
||||
Follow the steps in our wiki -
|
||||
[how to access inactive branches](https://github.com/fedora-sysv/initscripts/wiki/How-to-access-inactive-branches) -
|
||||
in case you need to check out old git branches for any reason.

## Bugs reporting
|
||||
If you find a bug, we would like to hear about it -- although we can't guarantee
|
||||
we will be able to fix it... The best way to report bugs differs for each
|
||||
distribution:
|
||||
* `RHEL | CentOS` - create a bug report in [bugzilla](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi) for corresponding RHEL version
|
||||
* `Fedora | Other` - create a [new issue](https://github.com/fedora-sysv/initscripts/issues/new) directly here on GitHub
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE:** Bug reports created for *Fedora* in [bugzilla](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/) usually take a lot of time to
|
||||
resolve. *We advise to use GitHub instead.*
