Hi,
Hi Vít,
Recently I have noticed that systemd package dependency is creeping into
some packages where it is not necessary. subversion [1] or rsync [2] are
good examples. Please consider moving daemon parts into independent
subpackages. When I install rsync/subversion, I am typically interested
just in client side.
At some point in time (F16 IIRC) we had systemd-units package which contained
/etc/rpm/macros.systemd file. Packagers which followed our guidelines used for
example %{unitdir} macro in %files. Hence they added systemd-units to
BuildRequires.
These days systemd-units no longer exists, macro file moved to systemd rpm and
systemd-units is a provided by systemd rpm.
Thank you for insightful explanation.
Nevertheless, if you are using some macro, it is just build time
dependency. I believe that the issue might be due to %{unitdir} folder
ownership. And I see two solutions:
1) Packages which ships unit files should consider to put them into sub
package called either -daemon or -server. And this applies especially to
packages such as man (forgot to mention this one previously), rsync or
subversion. I don't typically use their server features or con jobs or
whatever.
Looks like rsync now has a -daemon sub-package, as you requested, and which I
think is a good thing.

Wish it went with a -server name, as that seems much more common, especially
for admin configurable services. Really wish we had more standardized names.
