            Bug ID: 7066
           Summary: Provide a systemd.timer for sa-update
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Building & Packaging
          Assignee: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
          Reporter: rumpelsepp@sevenbyte.org

Hi,
I think providing a systemd.timer for sa-update in spamassassin would be
useful. See also here in the arch linux bugtracker:

Providing an OS specific configuration file such as a systemd.timer would at
best be something thrown into contrib.  

Even the debian directory is showing signs of age and lack of attention which
is why we removed the spec file that used to be included.

Beyond that, I don't use systemd.  This is something you might want to discuss
on the dev list because it's just going to languish with generic statements
that it's useful while providing no basis for why.

Regards,
KAM

Create a README file and I'll commit the files to contrib/systemd.

Systemd services and timers in general are distribution independent. So every
(systemd) linux distribution has to create the same service and timer files on
their own and include them in their packages. It is a common procedure to ask
whether these files could be included in upstream instead so several linux
distributions could benefit.

There is already an according discussion on the fedora bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1064537

I think including these files just would save time in creating packages, so
that's the reason why I used the generic statement "useful".

Thanks. :)
I will ask the arch folks to review the files, then I will submit them here
again.
