Systemd is the system management daemon for many newer Linux distros. One of its features is the ability to have startup dependencies based on the the After option in a unit section. This feature patch adds in a call to the sd_notify function specifying that the backend process is READY after startup has completed. This will allow other systemd units to wait for the backend to complete initialization using the After (and a Requires if appropriate) unit options, or to test for the backend being ready via systemctl status (perhaps useful in a combined BE/FE situation where the FE wishes to wait for the BE to complete initialization). Note that the sd_notify call is defined to be a no-op if the current system was not booted using systemd, making it (theoretically) safe to invoke sd_notify on platforms transitioning to systemd from alternative init systems. The configure script is modified to autodetect (using pkg-config) the required functionality and libraries and default to enabling systemd ready notification if the build dependencies are met. A new configure option: --disable-systemd_notify is available to insure that support is not compiled into mythbackend if required. (Lightly) tested in a development environment. Release note item: Users/Packagers using systemd may want to consider adding the new build requirements (systemd-devel) to enable support, and to change the Type from simple to notify in their service files. github ref: https://github.com/garybuhrmaster/mythtv/commit/70293a6b766b3c761ba023d6f816e79c5d10de3d github git-am ref: https://github.com/garybuhrmaster/mythtv/commit/70293a6b766b3c761ba023d6f816e79c5d10de3d.patch" Patch - Feature closed minor 29.2 MythTV - General Master Head medium Fixed 0
