Any help fixing the system unit files in the upstream repo so they can
be properly included in the package would be appreciated for sure!
It's been a while since I last looked into that but IIRC there were two
main issues:
* starting the daemon early enough, specifically before any long items
such as fsck which might lead to the watchdog triggering before the
daemon is started (and prods the watch dog).
* there's also a corresponding sub-desire to run the qcontrol job
as late as possible so the lights flash red etc until the system
is mostly up. That's not as critical though
* there is a a dependency on the GPIO event device appearing. The
"right" way is apparently to watch udev events and do it
dynamically, the "tollerable" way is to tag the device (via a udev
rule) such that it generates a magic dev-input-by\x2dpath-
platform\x2dgpio\x2dkeys\x2devent.device thing the service can
depend on.
THere is some more background on some of that (especially the last one)
in #781886.
My most revent attempt to get this working is below (based on tip of
the packaging git tree). I honestly can't remember quite what state it
was in last I looked at it, ISTR not being quite happy with the
approach, especially the udev tagging, but that looks like the only
sane path forward (I did investigate lua bindings for udev but not much
luck, https://github.com/dodo/lua-udev seems to be abandoned).
Sorry for not giving this more time sooner, my qnap systems are
sticking with sysvinit for the forseeable future (only because they are
working fine for me as is, not because I want to avoid systemd in
general).
Ian.
commit 910a6d6f37c8829ddb935f82cd15093ca6790159

Add systemd unit files
The rcS transition means that LSB compat mode is no longer sufficient for
qcontrol (closes: #852127).
The upstream provided unit files were not quite usable as is, so patch as
follows:
- dev-input-*.device doesn't exist, use a Wants+After on
systemd-udev-settle.service as a workaround (this was suggested in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=781886#35, although
not as
the preferred option)
- qcontrol service needs the qcontrold service to already have started, so
add
a Requires.
- We would like qcontrol to run as near the end as possible, so mark it
After
basic and multi-user targets
- We want qcontrol to run always, so mark it WantedBy=default.target.
The last three seem likely to be suitable for upstream.
