Description Tomasz Torcz 2013-07-13 17:33:42 UTC
Created attachment 773120 [details]
add systemd-devel BR fo daemon

Description of problem:
2.80-1.fc19 is built without systemd support.  You can check it in build.log:

checking for SYSTEMD_DAEMON... no

This happens because configure script calls pkg-config to find libsystemd-daemon. And it only works if systemd-devel is installed:

% rpm -qf /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libsystemd-daemon.pc
systemd-devel-204-9.fc19.x86_64

  Without systemd support, transmission-daemon won't send proper notifies and will not start - systemd will hit a timeout waiting for notify and will kill the daemon.
  The fix is to add systemd-devel to buildrequires.

Yes. Confirm.

Thank you for your bug report. I'll push a fix first thing tomorrow morning. I haven't access to my laptop today.

Thanks,

Comment 4 Phil Anderson 2013-07-15 12:25:29 UTC
It is worth noting that this update also changes the location of the config file from:
/var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission
to:
/var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon

So, after upgrading, all torrents, settings, etc will be lost.  Is this intentional, or is this a bug?

Comment 5 Rahul Sundaram 2013-07-15 17:48:49 UTC
It is a intentional change. We used to include a custom systemd service file that handled this in previous versions and since upstream 2.80 release now includes a systemd service file, we have dropped our Fedora specific one.  So you will have to move your configuration file to this new location.  Sorry about the hassle but it will be a one time change.  The idea behind systemd is to unify these type of configuration changes across distributions and Fedora tends to stay as close to upstream software as feasible generally.  

@Ankur, please note this change in the bodhi update.
