LS,

Alas, I get a bit tired: every time we make an update, all the service files are overwritten with the files the clamav team thinks it's the best. So, every time I have to copy my proper/working/correct files over the unwanted updates. Rather annoying.

Please, build-in a check to avoid overwriting.

System files are *supposed* to be overwritten with every update. If you need to make changes, use

    systemctl edit <foo>.service

This will create /etc/systemd/system/foo.service.d/override.conf file, where you can make the necessary changes. You should *never* touch the files in /usr/lib/systemd. See 'man 5 systemd-system.conf' for an explanation where to make local modifications.

--- Frans.

Great, so if I am provided with service files that do not properly work - like the clamav case - I need to overwrite them every time, or follow your pointer - of which I was not aware. Luckily I always keep a backup of the changed service files, learned my lessons early from former projects who thought they knew what service file is good for me.

This should be the case for *all* projects, it is by design in systemd (not the packages that use it). It is intentional that the service files are overwritten on updates. This allows for adding/changing functionality in updates, while still allowing users to deviate from the default settings.
