Package: n2n
Version: 1.3.1~svn3789-7
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Please consider adding a native systemd service masking the already
shipped init script (fixes lintian tag[1] in subject).
I've attached my own attempt at writing a service file, based off
looking at what the init script does. Note that it is completely
untested (as I don't use n2n myself).
You should be able to use it just by dropping the n2n.service file
in the debian/ directory and then bump debhelper compat to >= 10
which will get the service file automatically handled (also compat 9 in
now deprecated).
Please note that the service could be a Type=simple if you drop the
-f flag in ExecStart. (Even better would be if the service implemented
support for sd_notify READY=1 so you could use Type=notify.)
Given the comment in the long description of the init script I however
imagine you really want to create a template service instance instead
(and just mask n2n.service -> /dev/null) using [email protected].
Additional improvements eg. using security hardening[2] could also be
added.
While at it please also get rid of the home-brew enable/disable[3]
and instead ship the service disabled by default and let the user
do 'service n2n enable' once they've configured it.
Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
PS. the init script uses $DAEMON_ARGS but the default file contains
an (empty) example variable N2N_DAEMON_OPTS (which is ignored).
