There is no systemd unit in snort. AFAIK upstream doesn't have it too, but I'm not sure. However, Fedora and Archlinux seem to already have it. Archlinux bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31228 Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 405680 [details] snort.service Fortunately adding one isn't particularly complicated - the one I've just attached ought to be able to handle everything the init.d script does. Please note there is no corresponding tmpfiles config file to manage /run/snort because it would appear that this directory is not needed when snort runs in non-daemon mode.
Well, ALMOST everything - it doesn't wait for MySQL (in any of its incarnations) or PostgreSQL to start. In principle After=mysql.service and After=postgresql.service ought to be enough, however as I haven't tested these two work (or indeed exist) I have omitted them from the attached ebuild file.

Can you clarify your meaning here? the attached ebuild file I would expect an attachment that is an ebuild. It is an init script for /etc/init.d and therefore requires code to install it there, namely a patch for the ebuild. Are you assuming 'we' will just make it and add and commit?

(In reply to Jeroen Roovers from comment #4) > > Sounds trivial. > > inherit systemd; ...; systemd_install_serviced foo Yes indeed. Now for a patch? Or do we just do it? As devs I thought we committed patches, not road maps
