@Thaodan: Thanks for your suggestions. However, I prefer explanations over plain diff dumps. I see why we'd want to set systemd in the cmake flags, but why install an empty directory?

Needed to patch the pkgbuild by this to build in a clean-chroot: The indendation is not important but forcing the init systemd detection and the install.

It looks like sysusers.d is broken again. I now get:

Jul 02 10:23:17 vm-mx systemd-sysusers[270]: Failed to parse UID: 'mail': Invalid argument

I think the issue is that you must give a numeric UID. You can't give the name of an existing user. It looks like - is the value to use for automatic assignment, which is probably what we want.

@Jonhoo: you are right, we need type u here. Thank you.

It looks like the sysusers.d file doesn't have the right format? I get:

[/usr/lib/sysusers.d/postsrsd.conf:2] Lines of type 'm' don't take a GECOS field.

Removing the GECOS field seems to make things work just fine

@bertptrs: thanks for finding the fix before I even had time to start searching!

I've created my own updated PKGBUILD that fixes both of the issues, which were coincidentally caused by the same thing. It adds a single commit as a patch until upstream makes a new release. https://ptpb.pw/Bv4S

@bertptrs: thanks for notification. being short on time atm i just bumped the version without extensive testing. I will look into this in the coming days and push a fix.

Hey, I'm having trouble running this PKGBUILD. It appears that starting version 1.6, a few things have changed.

First: the directory /etc/postsrsd is no longer created by make install. This causes a problem on line 39 [1] of your PKGBUIDL, where you try to pipe into this directory. A simple mkdir -p "$pkgdir/etc/postsrsd" somewhere before that line should fix it.

Second: upstream changed their detection of systemd-based systems to something that doesn't actually work. I've notified upstream here [2].

[1] https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=postsrsd#n39 [2] https://github.com/roehling/postsrsd/issues/91

i omitted the bump on purpose, since it triggers a rebuild which is unneeded imo. on second thought though it corrects the location of the file, so you might be right here.
