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have already switched to *[systemd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd)*, the *initscripts concept* is quite outdated nowadays.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 ## Future of initscripts As mentioned above, the *initscripts concept* is outdated nowadays, and de-facto obsolete.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 ## No longer active branches Follow the steps in our wiki - [how to access inactive branches](https://github.com/fedora-sysv/initscripts/wiki/How-to-access-inactive-branches) - in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. <!--- BACKUP of old inactive/stale git branches & their hashes: <branch name> <SHA-1 hash> ------------- ------------ initscripts-FC1-branch 516fdb9ffde8199d66212241b67956ae21b76bea initscripts-FC2-branch f3d2594413456574a0269813bdd351d6b0754924 FC3-branch 20e2d4679678cf377362de4a62edc8a8e38cf361 FC4-branch 431a471e479eb6dffc43a3bb785bf2711627fc95 FC5-branch 28a82ee5ae1f9111d19350a8d342c1fb1e3ed4e6 FC6-branch aa8cd70238da8c40db7566e0916aa246bd37abc1 F7-branch 329556dcf89e0757d49160d9adbe40169571a5d2 F8-branch c60ac9fb617a28d6b4a33150b75fbf3d24e05ae4 F9-branch 301dd44b3fadf1e97644ad462b1ee42043d2f5ef F10-branch 210d0fb68b306c50a1e6a4a71cffb57519445d33 F11-branch d6f77e0e9c84d0129913dcad6b057fe73e595b89 F12-branch 5d69a368ab85b007177bc9a5ee38687f0c081708 F13-branch d463b24eb479b3aeb5dc51479610fe3decf4ddd5 F14-branch 55e1e7637b7fc26dceac3d157914d526a79ba18d F15-branch afd5fa70b8ae507736d8619d9b54ee10ac3eaf50 F16-branch 1baf69352e5f1d3a73827974a937b93eaf3ba9a9 F17-branch ccea0dc2f03041056e8b5a07ea9c7baff1c741c2 F18-branch 7ae0decf762beed8ff17c03fd203e78e3108b46b initscripts-3_0E-branch a1d18e8bcb70eb2df53d690cb64138e60cdbb506 initscripts-3_0E-rhgb-branch 6fd5fcccc3aa5fdbdbcab8f7425f87d72ef1a3b4 initscripts-7_0-branch 475ece0115c304cb546dd789a68e1927498f1cf5 initscripts-7_1-branch e61bc31e8fd37cce1b85aaccd08da8e65a4e377b initscripts-7_2-branch 27465d15fbdad4142c15b0cd3fbe7de1cb4c9dbd initscripts-7_3-branch c222a1c2a46c42c12b5d898091962122375c9c42 initscripts-8_0-branch 826c2b5786a35ba669b9b3f508817c0b64ddc908 initscripts-9-branch 4630ba6b433cb9bbba55d6c942f104535f9c0e0b origin 6b5d4bfa26c45eb4351aad41c66d2ab0907cb304 redhat 578f0bb804e9d26881b3aa2349ff418235d0931b systemd-branch cc5b400dd6bad85f5d7b8e4a889134d3668e20a4 SEREL 8a26159ec668893c845d5dcbec48f509b2dacc6c unstable b5da33084c723b7a182d6724d9a8855a16c0b55d upstart-0.6.0-branch 5df584569b80bb8977f181e16b0de47fb4df08f1 ---> ## 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.*
