Subject: help making systemd drop-in overwrite files take effect

Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2015 20:28:45 +0000

Package: dh-systemd
Severity: wishlist

Could you please add a feature, so debhelper (dh-systemd) could help
making systemd drop-in overwrite files
(/lib/systemd/system/unit.service.d/override.conf) take effect?

(systemctl daemon-reload + service restart)

(guarded by [ -d /run/systemd/system ])

(Override files shipped by different packages.)

Cheers,
Patrick

I'm not sure a package should restart anothe service. Is there
precedent for this? I seem to recall libc or libssl asking me which
services I should restart, but I don't remember ever seeing any
packages restart other services.

I am not aware of any examples within Debian. My use case are user
specific packages, where you deploy a configuration package. We make use
of this in Debian derivatives, Whonix [a derivative of Debian] and Qubes
[Debian templates].
