Indeed no maintainer should be bothered with having his package install |
| 11 |
a unit file, though two points. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
A maintainer usually dislikes adding something contributed by a user |
| 14 |
that he doesn't know about / can't verify . So letting systemd herd |
| 15 |
picking unit files and committing them I think is reasonable. The |
| 16 |
chance for screwing with a package by just adding the unit file are |
| 17 |
close to zero even if not familiar with the package. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
The other thing is those unit files really should come from upstream |
| 20 |
and other distributions urge their developers to work with upstream [1] |
| 21 |
Therefore I'd require an upstream bug for each unit that we add. |
