Bug 601792 – net-misc/rsync-3.1.2 request for rsyncd.socket file for systemd socket activation

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Jones 2016-12-06 08:40:50 UTC]

Being able to launch the rsync daemon based on incoming socket activity would be a nice feature for system administrators that choose to use systemd.

Fedora offers an illustrative rsyncd.socket file in their rsync package

Why 
+	if [[ -e "/etc/systemd/system/" ]]; then
+		insinto /etc/
+		insinto /etc/systemd/system/
+		newins "${FILESDIR}"/rsyncd.socket rsyncd.socket
+		newins "${FILESDIR}"/rsyncd-service rsyncd@.service
+	else
+		dodir /etc/systemd/system/
+		insinto /etc/
+		insinto /etc/systemd/system/
+		newins "${FILESDIR}"/rsyncd.socket rsyncd.socket
+		newins "${FILESDIR}"/rsyncd-service rsyncd@.service
+	fi

When you could do

+	if [[ ! -e "/etc/systemd/system/" ]]; then
+		dodir /etc/systemd/system/
+       fi
+	insinto /etc/systemd/system/
+	newins "${FILESDIR}"/rsyncd.socket rsyncd.socket
+	newins "${FILESDIR}"/rsyncd-service rsyncd@.service

Any maintainers feel like picking up the provided patch?

It's been quite a long time since I opened this issue.
