[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#778954: firewalld: no-sysconfig patch completely removes ability to specify start-up options

[Carlos Maddela]

Package: firewalld
Version: 0.3.12-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

Just because Debian-based systems do not have /etc/sysconfig as in
Fedora-based systems, it should not mean that FirewallD cannot be configured
with start-up options.

The fix I propose is to have these options located in /etc/default/firewalld,
as is normally done in Debian for sysv init scripts.  To avoid duplication,
this same file is used if the service is started by systemd, however I do not
know if there are any reasons why systemd should not use /etc/default files.

I have attached my patch.

Regards,

Carlos
