systemd service file in wrong directory #51

Closed alteholz closed 2 years ago

alteholz commented 2 years ago

When preparing the Debian package of lprint, lintian complains: E: lprint: systemd-service-file-outside-lib etc/systemd/system/lprint.service N: N: The package ships a systemd service file outside /lib/systemd/system/ N: N: Systemd in Debian searches for unit files in /lib/systemd/system/ and N: /etc/systemd/system. Notably, it does not look in N: /usr/lib/systemd/system/ for service files. N: N: System administrators should have the possibility to overwrite a N: service file (or parts of it, in newer systemd versions) by placing a N: file in /etc/systemd/system, so the canonical location used for N: service files is /lib/systemd/system/.

Do you mind changing the directory of the service file to /lib/systemd/system?

Hi @alteholz ,

I have PR #50 for tackling this - currently with solution to use %{prefix}/lib/systemd/system by default, but you can pass a path on your own. The prefix is usually set by passing --prefix to configuration script, or /usr/local by default.
