Hi all, the idea behind the use of RUN_HYLAFAX=1 is that the user should be able to enable or disable hylafax daemon. This is not easy at all, since hylafax daemons are many processes, and the user may select to start a few of them from inittab. BTW, if the only way to start daemons is from init.d script, then this flag is meant to pilating hylafax activation.
This flag was not available until a few years ago. When introduced its default value was 0 and hylafax would not start after installation. Then (of course) a few people complained that hylafax was not starting anymore for no apparent reason (the flag was documented only in README), so the default value was changed to 1. I like to idea you proposed: leave it at 1 and do not touch it anymore. The init.d script should be changed in order to warn the user when action is "start" and the flag is at 0, the start action should return a 0 status in order to have upgrade script working correctly, isn't it?
