[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#730604: libvirt-bin: Please rename libvirt-bin.service back to libvirtd.service and use symlink or Alias= instead

[Laurent Bigonville]

Hello,

I'm currently looking at this.

As explained, if the .service is being renamed, we need to stop the
service before it get renamed on disk.

I see 2 options here:

1) Call invoke-rc.d libvirt-bin stop in a preinst script

2) Kill libvirtd daemon based on the pid in the .pid file in
the postinst script (we could either use kill or start-stop-daemon)

Both will only happen once and only if the user is running systemd
already.

With 1) the downtime of the daemon might be a bit longer than with 2)

What's your preference here?

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville
