Type=notify would be even better, see https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/4503 for more info. > #EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/transmission-daemon > ExecStart=/usr/bin/transmission-daemon -f --log-error > > [Install] > WantedBy=multi-user.target > > Notice how I *don't* import the environment from the existing defaults > file, which is a shame because we loose some settings, but this is > unavoidable because --config-dir really breaks everything. > > Maybe there would be a way to still import $OPTIONS from the defaults > yet override the --config-dir somehow to fix those problems? > > Anyways, it would be nice to have a clean upgrade path here. :) The package /etc/default/transmission file only has three variables, so it's probably doable to just work based on their values. I'll try to write something that looks like shell :p # since both sysv-rc and systemd will try to start the daemon by default # we only need to disable it if the user changed the default value if [ 0 = $ENABLE_DAEMON ]; then update-rc.d disable $DAEMON fi # migrate to new location in the home of the transmission user if [ "/var/lib/transmission-daemon/info" = $CONFIG_DIR ] && [ "--config-dir $CONFIG_DIR" = $OPTIONS ] $$ [ -z $START_STOP_OPTIONS ]; then mv $CONFIG_DIR $NEW_CONFIG_DIR rm -f /etc/default/transmission else # the admin customised things here, we should not try to guess # further and just let him deal with the migration display big fat warning that further settings in /etc/default/transmission will be ignored fi It would probably also be a good ideat to consider renaming the debian-transmission user to _transmission as per discussions on -devel, especially since _transmission is also quite long.
