From 5aa4d2dcf2f4f8786358feb45338893ed08a4cd9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Ludovic=20Court=C3=A8s?= Date: Thu, 7 May 2020 12:45:43 +0200 Subject: Revert "services: syslog: Simplify 'start' method." This reverts commit 4c0cc7bed3de2c0e2d3a6e95b88693941e839eec. Fixes . Reported by Alex Sassmannshausen . The problem is that reconfiguring on a system running Shepherd < 0.8.0 would lead to an error, due to #:file-creation-mask not being supported. The error is rather harmless: it prevents service upgrade but the system itself is upgraded. We can reinstate that commit eventually, once #:file-creation-mask has become widespread. --- gnu/services/base.scm | 18 +++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/gnu/services/base.scm b/gnu/services/base.scm index a031ccc04b..b14bbcc3cd 100644 --- a/gnu/services/base.scm +++ b/gnu/services/base.scm @@ -1316,13 +1316,17 @@ Service Switch}, for an example."
