Description Dave Hodgins 2013-08-07 00:51:19 CEST 
In /lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service
Mageia 3 has
ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/rc.local start

In Magiea 4, it's
ExecStart=/etc/rc.local start

In Mageia 4, neither file exists by default, so if /etc/rc.d/rc.local
is created, and chmoded to be executable, it will no longer be executed.

I think both /etc/rc.d/rc.local (empty file, with execute permissions),
and the symlink /etc/rc.local -> /etc/rc.d/rc.local should be added.

Comment 1 Colin Guthrie 2013-08-07 09:46:05 CEST 
It's an upstream change to drop the distro specific paths. I can just specify --with-rc-local-script-path-start=/etc/rc.d/rc.local at configure time and we should be fine.

There is also /sbin/halt.local in mga3 but it's default path is the same in newer systemds, so no specific configure args are needed there.
 
I think fixing the path is better as I'd rather not create these legacy files by default if we can avoid it.

This change should be in the next build.
