[aur-general] SysV init file in package
Hi, I'm the maintainer of the psad [1] package in AUR. The package comes with to init files, one for systemd and other one for SysV. As some time has passed since the switch to systemd my question is, is it ok to remove sysV init file from the package. Or should I keep it for compatibility reasons.

Technically you can just drop it. It may be a good idea to hang onto it in some version control system so people can get it again, but as official Arch packages drop them, I see no reason why AUR packages should keep them.

Arch gave notification last Nov that initscripts rc.d files would start being removed in Jan [1]. They are now actively being removed from official packages [2]. I'd say it's been safe to remove them for months now.
