Package: debhelper
Version: 12.7.1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I'm currently working on updating the debhelper compat level in systemd
from 10 to 12:
https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/commits/wip/compat-12
systemd ships several units files, which are currently enabled manually
in the maintainers scripts.
systemd also ships several tmpfiles, which are currenly enabled via
dh_installinit.
With compat level 12 and dh_installsystemd, tmpfiles are no longer
handled by dh_installinit.
Since I need to call dh_installsystemd several times (with different
argument), the following code is currently added multiple times as well:
if [ "$1" = "configure" ] || [ "$1" = "abort-upgrade" ] || [ "$1" =
"abort-deconfigure" ] || [ "$1" = "abort-remove" ] ; then
# In case this system is running systemd, we need to ensure that all
# necessary tmpfiles (if any) are created before starting.
if [ -d /run/systemd/system ] ; then
systemd-tmpfiles --create debian.conf home.conf
journal-nocow.conf legacy.conf systemd-nologin.conf systemd.conf tmp.conf
var.conf x11.conf >/dev/null || true
fi

This is not really great.
Somehow I think it would the cleanest solution if tmpfiles handling was
split into a separate helper, say dh_installtmpfile which can be called
individually from dh_installsystemd.
Technically this would make sense, as a tmpfile is strictly speaking no
unit file. We would leave handling of unit files solely to
dh_installsystemd.
Only issue would be, that we need to get the ordering right, but I think
it would be sufficient if we always call dh_installtmpfile before
dh_installsystemd (at least I can't think of a reason why we ever need
to run it after dh_installsystemd).
Comments most welcome.
Maybe there is different solution to fix this directly in
dh_installsystemd which I'm not seeing.
Regards,
Michael
