Manage drop-in files

[jarro2783]

Can support for drop-in files to override package units be added to this module?

[raphink]

Could you give a concrete example of what you need?

[jarro2783]

If I want to override some parameters for a systemd unit, then I would put a drop in file in /etc/systemd/system/unit.service.d, with the parameters that I want to override. So perhaps I could do something like:

systemd::unit_dropin { '99environment':
  unit => 'unitname',
  content => "[Service]\nStandardOutput=syslog\n",
}

and the contents would get placed in /etc/systemd/system/unitname/99environment.conf.

That would be a nice addition to customize systemd services without overriding the entire original file.

can this be closed now? and is PR #26 still needed at all?

[jarro2783]

Yeah I think this is resolved by #39.
