Hi, [ redirecting to debian-devel, as -policy isn't the correct list for this IMHO ]

I've been What's "reasonably complex" to you is "absurdly simple" to one reader and "needlessly arcane" to somebody else. :-/ > trying to convert minidlna sysv init file to systemd, managed to have > a working unit file but failed to split the configuration mimicing > the ../default/minidlna content with the hability to make USER and > GROUP configurable. You _can_ do > ExecStart=sudo -u $USER_MINIDLNA -g GROUP_MINIDLNA /usr/sbin/minidlnad -S but that's not the optimal solution here. It's better IMHO to use a fixed user in your packaging -- why should that user be configurable in the first place? If the sysadmin _really_ needs to use a different user+group, they can add an overriding unit file to /etc/systemd/system/ (files get merged, so no need to copy the whole thing). > ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir -p /var/run/minidlna You might want to use this opportunity to replace /var/run with /run. > ExecStartPre=/bin/chown $USER /var/run/minidlna You should use "%u"; see systemd.unit(5). Also, one ExecStartPre stanza is sufficient: > ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/install -o %u -g %g -m 0750 -d /run/minidlna (or whichever mode is appropriate) -- -- Matthias Urlichs
