Description of problem: /dev/zram0 is created over and over again Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-246.10-1.fc33.x86_64 How reproducible: Use Fedora; do update sometimes Actual results: See below. Expected results: Creation of /dev/zram0 _once_.

I tried to make it clear in the message that it's just the unit file that is being created by the generator. Anyway, what is happening here is that daemon-reload is being called over and over and the generator recreates the file each time. There is no error, except that something is angrily calling daemon-reload.
Why does dev-zram0.swap have to be created so many times? If it exists, leave it be. If it is a normal function to recreate these files on reload, then why bother mentioning it when the operation succeeds? I guess the core of the thing is: Please bother the user only with relevant stuff. An operation that succeeds is not relevant. It is normal to succeed. Only when operations fail or have issues attention is required. Also adjusting logging to these ideas makes the software look less like it came right out of a lab where it was tested. I run the systems with systemd.log_level=warning but that setting does not appear to have any effect. If dev-zram0.swap creation is a warning or worse, why?

We use fedora 33...
Fabio, Igor, what process should be used to build a new version of the package for F33? I want to update the package to the latest version, but not exactly to the same *spec* file as in F34+, because the defaults which are embedded in the spec file were changed for F34. I prepped the right spec file locally, and it builds fine in rawhide mock, but not in f33, because the rust devel packages are missing.
If the .spec file must be different for f33 than it is for f34/rawhide, then you need to commit them on the f33 branch, as usual. This only changes one step in the Rust package build instructions for f32 + f33, e.g. you *do* have a f33 dist-git branch to use for the f33 build, and don't build from the rawhide branch. E.g. if you use the rustbuild.sh bash script by Dusty: https://dustymabe.fedorapeople.org/rustbuild.sh Or the original fish script by Igor: https://gist.github.com/ignatenkobrain/f2529a3f9e34848fa63587db94089a0f The only change in both cases is that you actually *have* a f33 branch in git, not only in PDC, and must switch to it (or already be on it after having pushed your f33-specific changes) before running "fedpkg build --target f33-build-side-foo", and you don't need "--skip-nvr-check" then. Feel free to ping me in #fedora-rust if you have any questions or problems.
I completely dropped the ball on this one, sorry. But now F33 is almost EOL. I don't want to learn a new procedure, so I'll close this. (If somebody knows how and want to build the package and do an update, I certainly don't mind.)
