Axel:

I am assuming that the mythtv.spec file would need to be updated to
install the appropriate mythbackend.service file and to use systemctl
rather than chkconfig and /sbin/service to install and run the
appropriate file.

I'd be happy to try to take a crack at updating the spec file and send
you a diff, if you want.  I am assuming that this is the section of
the mythtv.spec file that needs to be adjusted:


%pre backend
# Add the "mythtv" user
/usr/sbin/useradd -c "mythtvbackend User" \
  -s /sbin/nologin -r -d %{_varlibdir}/mythtv mythtv 2> /dev/null || :

%post backend
/sbin/chkconfig --add mythbackend

%preun backend
if [ $1 = 0 ]; then
  /sbin/service mythbackend stop > /dev/null 2>&1
  /sbin/chkconfig --del mythbackend
fi

I've looked over the file that Paul referenced and it is very close to
the one I developed to use with my own systems (it uses slightly
different locations for some of the user files).  I'll let you know
how I get on.
