Hi! First a little context. I'm in the process of packaging bup [1] (review request [2]), a backup system based on the git packfile format. One of its sub-commands/functionalities is "bup web" [3], a web server for browsing through bup repositories. By default, "bup web" will show the bup repository stored in user's ~/.bup directory. Thus, it seems most appropriate to provide a systemd user instance service which a user can enable and start. Since the current systemd packaging guidelines [4] don't mention user instance services at all, I've researched this a bit and found that the systemd package ships /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.systemd file, which contains various "user" macros: - %_userunitdir - %systemd_user_post - %systemd_user_preun - %systemd_user_postun - %systemd_user_postun_with_restart My naive attempt at using them was to follow [4] and just replace all % systemd_* calls with appropriate %systemd_user_* calls (and %_unitdir with %_userunitdir). The SPEC file can be viewed here: https://github.com/tjanez/bup-package/blob/5f4abed/bup.spec However, this doesn't work as expected. This is the output of rpmlint: Rpmlint ------- Checking: bup-0.27-0.3.fc24.x86_64.rpm bup-web-0.27-0.3.fc24.x86_64.rpm bup-0.27-0.3.fc24.src.rpm bup.x86_64: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) packfile -> pack file, pack-file, packsaddle [... trimmed spelling warnings ...] bup-web.x86_64: W: empty-%postun bup.src: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) packfile -> pack file, pack-file, packsaddle [... trimmed spelling warnings ...] bup.src: E: specfile-error systemd_post: invalid option -- '-' bup.src: E: specfile-error error: Unknown option - in systemd_post() 3 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 2 errors, 15 warnings. Rpmlint (installed packages) ---------------------------- bup-web.x86_64: W: empty-%postun 3 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings. I would appreciate help and feedback on this topic.
