Julien Eid commented on BIGTOP-116:
-----------------------------------

Hey, I would love to take a look at this ticket. I recommend that we either version our repos to match distributions that have systemd and only include systemd for those repos or split our init scripts into noarch packages and have one package be sysvinit scripts and the other be systemd and you choose at install time which one you want. I would rather do the former and only include systemd scripts for packages of distributions that have systemd, like RHEL7. 

Looking over our gradle and make code, it appears we just call createrepo, but I don't see anyway currently to specify distribution specific ways of including files into packages. Maybe [~cos] can shed more light on the best way to do this from build side?

> We need to plan for adding native systemd support. Future Fedora and openSUSE versions will have this installed as default on a new install. Upgrading from 11.4 > 12.1 will retain sysv. Looking at what has happened in openSUSE 12.1 development will help a lot to guide adding the new bits.
