Details

Description:
The file transmission.service file does not take in account the $TRANS_ARGS from /etc/conf.d/transmissiond, nor the $TRANS_USER variable.

This is inconsistant with the rc.d behavior.

* package version(s) - 2.61.4

Steps to reproduce:
Add a configuration in /etc/conf.d/transmissiond, restart the daemon, no change applied.
This task depends upon

Also, Type=forking can be avoided since there is a flag to avoid daemonize (-f | --foreground)

This was intentional. /etc/conf.d/ is Arch-specific, and any reference to it can not be part of the upstream service file (which will hopefully appear in a future release). Moreover, most (if not all?) of TRANS_ARGS can be configured internally in transmission.

If there are things you wish to tweak which can not be configured internally, make a copy of the service file in /etc/systemd/system/ and edit it there.

@Gerardo: we can not use --foreground as other daemons might (in principle at least) wish to order themselves After=transmission.service. Since transmission is not socket-activated, we need to wait for transmission to finish setting itself up and creating the various sockets before we consider it started. Since that kind of setup happens before the daemon forks, Type=forking gives the right behavior.
