[Frugalware-devel] enabling services by default in upstart?

[VMiklos]

hi,

in sysvinit, you have a default: if you install rc.foo then it'll be
never started by default, we have to write an install scriptlet to
enable a service

in upstart, you can choose the default:

1) enable each job by default, so that we have to write a scriptlet to
disable it

2) disable jobs by default, just like in sysvinit

a few stats:
enabled services in current: 83
disabled services in current: 72
disabled services in extra: 54
enabled services in extra: 32

i would vote for not changing the default as we usually push new
packages to extra where, having "disabled" as default makes our (and the
users') life easy (not mentioning the "don't allow anything by default"
unis philosophy)

Alex votes for the debianish "enable by default" method which would
allow use to remove some existing scriptlet from main

what do you think? (please, please vote)

thanks,
VMiklos
