Hi,
Just curious why conkyforecast is not in the Fedora repos? The source
is at http://www.mostlyslack.com/slackstuff/sources/conkyforecast_2.20.tar.gz

should I file a RFE for this on BZ?
Thanks,

Hi all,
I've written unit files for deluge to be used with systemd. There are
two unit files:
deluged.service[1]: for the deluged daemon
deluge-web.service[2]: for the web ui
As far as I know,
- they need to be copied to /lib/systemd/system
- systemctl daemon-reload
- systemctl start deluged.s
