Hi,
It seems that the source package contains a .service and a .socket file
for qemu-pr-helper.
But none of the binary package is shipping them, shouldn't that be the
case?
Actually this is an interesting question, I haven't decided yet if that's
a good idea to ship these. These files are more like samples, while useable.
Different users may want to run different instances of the helper, maybe it
is not a good idea to allow any user on the system to use single system-wide
socket, etc.. it isn't that simple. Also, it isn't really necessary to use
systemd activation, one can run the daemon before running qemu with existing
pr-helper socket.
With the sample .socket/.service pair, users are allowed to talk to a privileged
process which manages some resource(s). Dunno if that's right or wrong :)
Thanks,
/mjt
