Details

Summary and Info:

While for system timers it is technically possible to use a

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

section, the correct way is to use

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

The timers in most packages do it right, however these two/four timers do not:

./community/gitlab/repos/community-x86_64/gitlab-backup.timer
./community/gitlab/trunk/gitlab-backup.timer
./packages/btrfs-progs/repos/core-x86_64/btrfs-scrub@.timer
./packages/btrfs-progs/trunk/btrfs-scrub@.timer

Steps to Reproduce:

Grep all packages in both community.git and packages.git:

grep -R --include="*.timer" WantedBy=multi-user .

Steps to Fix:

Simply replace

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

with

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target
This task depends upon

Sorry for the incorrect report, I am unfamiliar with this tool and didn't know if/how I could select the project the ticket was going to.

If you go to https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/btrfs-progs/ the "Package Details" sidebar has a link to "Add New Bug" which automatically handles assigning to the correct project and component.

Ah I see. I searched the entire package tree and didn't think of reporting them individually. Sorry again.
