Axel:

I am assuming that the mythtv.spec file would need to be updated to
install the appropriate mythbackend.service file and to use systemctl
rather than chkconfig and /sbin/service to install and run the
appropriate file.

I'd be happy to try to take a crack at updating the spec file and send
you a diff, if you want. I am assuming that this is the section of
the mythtv.spec file that needs to be adjusted:


%pre backend
# Add the "mythtv" user
/usr/sbin/useradd -c "mythtvbackend User" \
-s /sbin/nologin -r -d %{_varlibdir}/mythtv mythtv 2> /dev/null || :

%post backend
/sbin/chkconfig --add mythbackend

%preun backend
if [ $1 = 0 ]; then
/sbin/service mythbackend stop > /dev/null 2>&1
/sbin/chkconfig --del mythbackend
fi

I've looked over the file that Paul referenced and it is very close to
the one I developed to use with my own systems (it uses slightly
different locations for some of the user files). I'll let you know
how I get on.

George

Feel free to snag what you want from my spec file since I've already
done this and it so far seems to work!

Richard & Paulo:

Thanks. I'll look over the Fedora docs, and I suspect I will pilfer
freely from Richard's fine work! Hopefully I can cobble something
together in the next few days.

BTW, looking over the Fedora docs, it looks like there might need to
be different approaches for <=FC17 and for >=FC18. I'll see what I
can figure out.

George

Yeah, I haven't had time to see if I need to change anything for the
new systemd macros in F18+ so I'm looking forward to what you find
out.
