The correct path to use depends on the type of unit and the |
| 13 |
"split-usr" USE flag. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
With split-usr enabled, overrides for system service units go in |
| 16 |
/lib/systemd/system/foo.service.d. |
| 17 |
With split-usr disabled, overrides for system services units go in |
| 18 |
/usr/lib/systemd/system/foo.service.d. |
| 19 |
Overrides for user service units would always go in |
| 20 |
/usr/lib/systemd/user/foo.service.d. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
We will be phasing out split-usr later this year due to pressure from |
| 23 |
systemd upstream to stop supporting it. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Anyway, there are already functions to get the correct path based on |
| 26 |
pkg-config in the systemd.eclass. |
