Bug 515644 – net-misc/lldpd - add systemd unit

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christian Roessner 2014-06-29 06:25:44 UTC]

Please provide a systemd unit. Mine looks like this:

[Unit]
Description=Link Layer Discovery Protocol daemon
After=syslog.target
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/lldpd
StandardOutput=syslog
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/lldpd $LLDPD_OPTS

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

systemd team: does that look reasonable to you?

[Comment 2 Pacho Ramos 2014-07-01 08:52:05 UTC]

We prefer to not use conf.d files at all, specially in cases like this one that don't really need it apart of letting people to append random options that could break the unit file if not modified accordingly

StandardOutput=syslog is not needed and, as EnvironmentFile is not used, $LLDPD_OPTS should be dropped too

Fixed in net-misc/lldpd-0.7.9
