Systemd migration and packaging

Systemd has excellent man pages for all the relevant migration options as well as Packaging:Systemd so see man:

systemd.special systemd.service systemd.socket systemd.target systemd.timer systemd.time systemd.unit


Sysv to systemd service migration

Setting up the migration environment for systemd services.

For sys V to systemd migration create a service.txt file with the following unmigrated ( 119 ) components in Fedora

Remember some services do not support being restarted (e.g. D-Bus and various storage daemons). If the service you are migrating should not be restarted upon upgrade, then use the following %post scriptlet instead of the one shown above:
%postun
%systemd_postun

Various unit samples

Since we have around 600 - 700 units already in the distribution it's best to look into /lib/systemd/system for existing samples for various type units rather then trying to list them all here.

Cron job to timer migration

When to migrate

If a package ships cron job as well as initscript or native systemd units it's applicable to migration to native systemd timer unit since it already depends on systemd.

Setting up the migration environment for systemd timers.

For timer migration create a timers.txt file with the following content. 

amavisd-new
apt
arm4
atop
bcfg2
clement
cyrus-imapd
dbmail
denyhosts
dspam
exim
fetch-crl
freeipa
hylafax+
inn
leafnode
ltsp
mailman
mcelog
mdadm
mldonkey
newscache
nsd
opendnssec
openvas-scanner
ovirt-engine
ovirt-node
polipo
sagator
sipwitch
spamassassin
squidGuard
subscription-manager
sysstat
vdsm
vnstat
yum-cron

Then git clone the packages from Fedora 

while read line           
 do           
   git clone git://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/$line;
done < timers.txt

Create a separated branch to work on 

while read line           
 do
   cd $line;
    git checkout -b systemd-timers;
   cd -
done < timers.txt

Decide which component you are going to be migrating and add your name next to it on this list

Add the timer unit to git 

git add ackme-job.service
git add ackme-job.timer

Commit the change and create a patch. 

git commit -a -m "Migrating cron job to native systemd units"
git format-patch -s -n master..systemd-timers

Push the patch or file a bug in Fedora and add it to the Timer Migration Tracking Bug by setting 991679 as an blocker in that report.

Unit migration/Creation

Manual activation of timer units 

systemctl enable ackme.timer

Starting the timer unit

Systemd hacking for fun

Idea Stick it 3000

Create a minimal installer based on Kay's Fedora minimal installer which downloads and installs a fully bootable text mode UEFI-only btrfs system, that supports using btrfs send/receive/sendshot.

UI design something similar to liveusb creator

Would need to support both yum and apt-get
