Hi everyone, tl;dr: I submitted some PRs. If you didn't get a PR, feel free to ignore this. Otherwise read on for a lengthy explanation...
We now have a round 100 user units packaged in Fedora, yay! Our packaging guidelines [1] specify that they should be packaged essentially in the same way as system units. This means that a) units which should be enabled by default need a line in /usr/lib/systemd/user-preset/90-default-user.preset provided by fedora-release package b) %systemd_user_post and %systemd_user_preun should be used to call systemctl preset --global For this to work, systemd should have a default policy of 'disable *' for user units. This was missing, so the default policy was 'enable *'. There's a long-standing ticket to add 'disable *' [2]. For *system* units, systemd calls preset-all in its %post. For *user* units, this is not done. On top of this, and probably at least partially caused by this, various packages that install user units do strange things. In particular, many units do not use the scriptlets properly. I'd like to clean this all up for F31: 1. add a default policy of 'disable *' for user units (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-release/pull-request/80) 2. call 'preset-all --global' in systemd %post (will do once the fedora-release PR is merged) 3. use the scriptlets in more packages (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/p11-remote/pull-request/1 https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pipewire/pull-request/4 https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pulseaudio/pull-request/2 https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/unity-gtk-module/pull-request/1 https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/zbyszek/rpms/grub2/tree/use-scriptlets Those can be merged independently of the other changes.) No action is required from packagers, except for the PRs listed above to be merged. grub2 maintainers: please enable PRs in pagure! Otherwise, pull the changes from my use-scriptlets branch.

If the package installs a static enablement symlink, it is also listed here. - [Install]: whether the unit file has an [Install] section - preset: if there's a preset for this unit, the name of the file that contains it - scriptlets: whether the package has installation scriptlets for the unit - notes: not adding preset → I don't think the unit should be enabled by default not wanted by default → package has been mostly deprecated by something else needs preset → I think the unit should be enabled by default Note that unless the unit has "yes" in both "[Install]" and "preset" columns, it'll not be affected by any preset changes, because either 'systemd preset' is not called for it, or it has no effect. I expect that this might not be very clear ;) Sorry. Please post any questions, I'll try to provide more information.
