In Github master, I renamed the init.d directory to systemd, added a
template backuppc.service, and updated the README file. See
https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/tree/master/systemd. The template
service file is in
https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/blob/master/systemd/src/backuppc.service
.
When you run configure.pl it updates the settings in
systemd/src/backuppc.service and deposits the output in
systemd/backuppc.service. It still updates the old init.d files (now in
systemd/src), but they are now put in a subdirectory (systemd/init,d).
