Even with the below use flag, spamassassin installs systemd service

systemd units are installed unconditionally.

use INSTALL_MASK=/usr/lib/systemd/system if you want to save the 500 bytes.

Hello Alex Xu,

Thanks for the response.

It is installing to /etc/systemd directory and I do not want the /etc littered with components I do not use.

Will the INSTALL_MASK on /usr/lib/systemd/system also restrict installs to /etc/systemd?

Thanks
Joe

checked on #gentoo for info.

INSTALL_MASK="/usr/lib/systemd/system /etc/systemd"
