Dariusz:
Do we need to port it to systemd or are sysv script is fine?
Christian:
In general sysv is fine, but there are a few issues due using the "old" calls e.g. if you have PCP running in a container it will collide on the Host (no service start, failing package install) - things like that have to be addressed either in the sysV script or by creating a better service file.
# dependencies
Christian :
It seems dependencies were checked in Xenial only.
In latter releases e.g. Artful pcp has grown a dependency to libpapi5 which is in universe.
So the MIR as it is now would either:
- include adding and carrying a delta to whatever added libpapi (didn't check the source if that is doable)
- add another full MIR process for source "papi"
Other discussions ....
