[aur-general] Systemd service files
In general, should .install files enable systemd service files on startup by default (even if some custom config may or may not be required)? Are there any other special considerations when deciding? [1] provided some info about systemd scripts, but I couldn't find anything as it relates to PKGBUILDs. [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd

As far as I know, the general rule is that install scripts should never enable, disable, start, stop, or restart things, only apply needed configuration that can't be applied from within the package (such as adding users and groups). ~Celti

+1 Please keep arch passive. No automated configs, no automated breakage I'll have to search for. Thank you. Cheers mar77i

Yes, we should not have the privilege of breaking our systems taken away from us.

Unless you're Allan. Then automated breakage is not only a privilege but an obligation. Bonus points for subtlety.
