MySQL uses the following pattern to achieve this use case: mysql-server-core-5.7 ships binaries only with no configuration mysql-server-5.7 depends on mysql-server-core-5.7 and provides management of /var/lib/mysql, supplies configuration in /etc/mysql (along with mysql-common) and provides system service definitions.
Perhaps nginx packaging could be adjusted to use a similar pattern (Andres' suggestion is equivalent; I'm just pointing out the pattern that already exists). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1781971 Title: nginx daemon should be provided in a package that doesn't have dependencies to systemd (or nginx-common) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nginx/+bug/1781971/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
