How to package systemd user instance services?
by Tadej Janež
Hi!
First a little context. I'm in the process of packaging bup [1] (review
request [2]), a backup system based on the git packfile format.
One of its sub-commands/functionalities is "bup web" [3], a web server
for browsing through bup repositories. By default, "bup web" will show
the bup repository stored in user's ~/.bup directory.
Thus, it seems most appropriate to provide a systemd user instance
service which a user can enable and start.
Since the current systemd packaging guidelines [4] don't mention user
instance services at all, I've researched this a bit and found that the
systemd package ships /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.systemd file, which
contains various "user" macros:
- %_userunitdir
- %systemd_user_post
- %systemd_user_preun
- %systemd_user_postun
- %systemd_user_postun_with_restart
My naive attempt at using them was to follow [4] and just replace all %
systemd_* calls with appropriate %systemd_user_* calls (and %_unitdir
with %_userunitdir). The SPEC file can be viewed here:
https://github.com/tjanez/bup-package/blob/5f4abed/bup.spec
However, this doesn't work as expected. This is the output of rpmlint:
Rpmlint

Rpmlint (installed packages)
----------------------------
bup-web.x86_64: W: empty-%postun
3 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.
I would appreciate help and feedback on this topic.
Thanks and regards,
Tadej

Packaging of PlayOnLinux
by Jiří Konečný
Hello all,
is there any reason why the PlayOnLinux is not in Fedora repository? I
know that they have database of proprietary stuff but they don't
download that and you can't purchase anything with the PoL.
If there is no reason I will be happy to package this one.
Thank you for the answers,
Jirka Konecny
