Comment 2 Rui Matos 2014-01-06 17:22:52 UTC

Running speech-dispatcher as a system service doesn't make sense since we ship it configured (in /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf) to auto-spawn a user instance whenever the client side library needs it.

It might make sense to run it as a service in case of distributed deployments where the daemon runs in one host and clients access it over a TCP connection but that will only work if users/sysadmins configure it specifically for that.

As I see it, we should just stop shipping the systemd .service file (it's a Fedora modification, not upstream).

If we really want to support the system service use case we need to ship a different config file for it and point the daemon at it with a command line argument.
