A repo of native unit files for systemd, with some Arch-specific features. The [community] repo contains a package of these units designed to work with the latest tag of systemd. For more bleeding edge, a PKGBUILD is available in the AUR [1]. units can be activated by using the systemctl utility, e.g. systemctl enable rpcbind.service ... Which will create symlinks in /etc/system/system pointing to the unit files residing in /lib/systemd/system. As an example, here's a (my) simple setup: /etc/systemd/system ├── dbus-uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.service -> /etc/systemd/system/dnsmasq.service ├── default.target.wants │ └── microcode.service -> /lib/systemd/system/microcode.service ├── dhcpd@.service ├── dnsmasq.service ├── enable-ksm.service ├── getty.target.wants │ └── getty@tty1.service -> /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ├── local-fs.target.wants ├── multi-user.target.wants │ ├── dnsmasq.service -> /etc/systemd/system/dnsmasq.service │ ├── enable-ksm.service -> /etc/systemd/system/enable-ksm.service │ ├── fcron.service -> /lib/systemd/system/fcron.service │ ├── iptables.service -> /lib/systemd/system/iptables.service │ ├── mpd.service -> /lib/systemd/system/mpd.service │ ├── netcon.service -> /etc/systemd/system/netcon.service │ ├── remote-fs.target -> /lib/systemd/system/remote-fs.target │ ├── sshdgenkeys.service -> /lib/systemd/system/sshdgenkeys.service │ ├── syslog-ng.service -> /lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service │ └── vde_switch@tap0.service -> /etc/systemd/system/vde_switch@.service ├── netcon.service ├── sockets.target.wants │ └── sshd.socket -> /etc/systemd/system/sshd.socket ├── sshd.socket ├── sysinit.target.wants └── vde_switch@.service 6 directories, 20 files [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47603 HOW TO CONTRIBUTE ---------------------------------------- So you've got a new unit to two you'd like to contribute. Great! However, there's a few things to keep in mind: 1) Only Arch Linux benefits if you submit your unit files here. Everyone using systemd can benefit if you submit your unit file to the upstream project. Once it's accepted and released by upstream, open a feature request on Arch's Flyspray to have it included in the repo package. 2) Unit files for packages in the AUR will not be accepted. Should #1 fail for whatever reason, please contact the maintainer on the AUR and have them include the units. 3) If you're still keen on submitting your units here, please start a new branch for your work off of master and create a single commit for each unit file. If you need to make revisions, rebase and squash them into a single commit. 4) I WILL NOT, under any circumstances, accept tmpfiles with your services if the managed files/directories are not root owned. Zero exceptions. 5) Test your work. I cannot stress this enough. LEGAL CRAP ---------------------------------------- All files in this repo are licensed under the MIT license.
