What is it going to take to convert ddclient installer from SysV to systemd? Can someone point me to the make file for the .deb of this package?

[Luke A. Perkins (public-a)]

I have been able to remove the /etc/init.d/ddclient sh script with the appropriate /etc/rc*.d/*ddclient files and use the attached ddclient.service file in the /lib/systemd/system directory.

A systemd unit file will be in the next version of the ddclient package, which is currently under review for inclusion in Debian. After it is accepted into Debian, it will be automatically included in the next Ubuntu release.

In the meantime, you can use the packages from the official PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ddclient/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

systemd unit file is in version 3.9.1-5.
