Ubuntu swift packages lack systemd unit files

[Neil Wilson]

The Debian upstream packages for swift have had Systemd unit support since

swift (2.6.0-2) experimental; urgency=medium

  [ Ondřej Nový ]
  * Added Debian tests.
  * Removed swift-init.
  * Systemd support.
  * Added container-sync config files.
  * Changed all dependencies to same version of swift package.
  * Changed shell of "swift" user to /bin/false.
  * Add user "swift" to group "adm", not replace group list.
  * Standards-Version is 3.9.7 now (no change).
  * Fixed Vcs URL.

but none of that appears to have made it past the merge process into the Ubuntu versions. We are now in the situation where the Bionic and Cosmic packages are still relying upon dated init scripts, and contain obsolete Upstart init files.

Is there a case for dropping the diff completely?

Hi Neil,

Thank you for reporting this and making Ubuntu better. The Ubuntu packages originate in Ubuntu and are not based on the Debian packages. The Ubuntu packages have had systemd unit support since Vivid. Please can you add some details for the missing unit files?

Thanks,
Corey

For example proxy is LSB generated, not systemd native

$ systemctl status swift-proxy
● swift-proxy.service - LSB: Swift proxy server
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/swift-proxy; generated)
   Active: active (running) since Fri 2018-10-26 15:13:07 UTC; 1 weeks 2 days ago

   CGroup: /system.slice/swift-proxy.service

Similarly if you look at the package file list of any of the swift built packages in ubuntu you will see SysV scripts, Upstart conf files, but no native systemd unit files.

You are right, the packages do in fact lack systemd unit files. While the SysV scripts and generated files work as is, we should stil add systemd unit files and align with the rest of the openstack packages. Also we are overdue for dropping upstart scripts from the packages now that we are no longer backporting openstack releases to the cloud archive for trusty. Note that the upstart scripts shouldn't be causing any issues.

This bug was fixed in the package swift - 2.25.0-0ubuntu3

---------------
swift (2.25.0-0ubuntu3) groovy; urgency=medium

  * d/t/swift-daemons: Update to give systemd units time to restart.
