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quite outdated nowadays.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As mentioned above, the *initscripts concept* is outdated nowadays, and de-facto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## No longer active branches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.*
