An update that has one fix can now be installed.

Description:

This update for systemd-rpm-macros fixes the following issues:

  • Bump to version 6

  • Make upstream '%systemd_{pre,post,preun,postun}' aliases to their SUSE counterparts. Packagers can now choose to use the upstream or the SUSE variants indifferently. For consistency the SUSE variants should be preferred since almost all SUSE packages already use them but the upstream versions might be usefull in certain cases where packages need to support multiple distros based on RPM.

  • Improve the logic used to apply the presets. (bsc#1177039) Before presests were applied at a) package installation b) new units introduced via a package update (but after making sure that it was not a SysV initscript being converted). The problem is that a) didn't handle package a renaming or split properly since the package with the new name is installed rather being updated and therefore the presets were applied even if they were already with the old name. We now cover this case (and the other ones) by applying presets only if the units are new and the services are not being migrated. This regardless of whether this happens during an install or an update.
