I reply to your message in the bottom part, just let me explain how I got this situation, because my previous message lacked of informations. I have built and installed a new BOINC release with a systemd unit file patch, and I have noticed that the service behaviour has not changed. Therefore I runned # systemctl edit --full boinc-client and I have noticed that the BOINC systemd unit file has not been updated. So if I recall correctly, I searched for boinc-client.service file, and found it in /etc/systemd/system/boinc-client.service and /usr/lib/systemd/system/boinc-client.service then I remved the former, then runned # dnf reinstall boinc-client.rpm and everything seemed to be okay on both # systemctl edit --full boinc-client and general service behaviour. > First, packages should install unit files into /usr/lib/systed/systemd/. > Units in /etc are for system administrators and shouldn't be touched > by packages. BOINC client spec file should be okay https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/boinc-client/blob/master/f/boinc-client.spec I haven't installed the unit file under /etc. Perhaps this happened after # systemctl edit --full boinc-client usage? > Second, if the unit file is marked in .spec as %config(noreplace), > then it won't be touched/replaced on package upgrade. %config(noreplace) is not used for the systemd unit file > Third, you need to do `systemctl daemon-reload` when changing unit > files. Yes I know, I use it everytime I run # systemctl edit --full boinc-client Do you know if it should be runned also after BOINC package update (obviously a machine reboot will make this useless) > Manual edits as in `systemctl edit --full`? Plain `systemctl edit` > only creates addon snippets and does not copy the unit.

I have never placed BOINC systemd unit file in /etc/systemd/system but I am wondering if "systemctl edit --full" can trigger the creation of such files under this folder _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
