On a side note, I played around building a package and noticed that only a sysvinit file is provided. Upstream should develop a systemd service file. I started working on a minimal one but haven't tested it yet.

[Unit]
Description=Sheepdog distributed storage system

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/sheep

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


I would consider this bare bones and I'm assuming that sheep doesn't fork by default (Type=Simple instead of Type=Forking). Also if it needs to be started after httpd IF httpd is enabled then I think a "Wants=httpd" or something like that should be added to the Unit section.

I'm not a systemd expert by any means so someone please correct me if I messed anything up.

Thanks,
Richard
