Multiple issues building debian for Systemd from play application

[dimon37]

I'm trying to create .deb file for Xenial Ubuntu (Systemd systemloader) for Play application
The result has two major issues:

• myproject.service file is only created when I use rpm:packageBin and NOT when I use debian:packageBin command for SBT.
• /usr/share/myproject/bin folder (where actual start script should reside) is not created, start script is not created anywhere else either

Using SBT 0.13.15, sbt-native-packager 1.2.2
My build.sbt looks like this:

import sbt._
import com.typesafe.sbt.packager.archetypes.systemloader.SystemdPlugin
import com.typesafe.sbt.packager.archetypes._

// ordering appears to be important with some versions of sbt and its plugins
// don't change the order below without a review first

//packageArchetype.java_server
enablePlugins(JavaServerAppPackaging)
enablePlugins(SystemdPlugin)
//serverLoading := Systemd

organization := "myorganization"

name := "myproject"

version := "7.5.0.1"

scalaVersion := "2.11.2"

packageDescription in Rpm := "Myproject Service"

packageDescription in Debian := "Myproject Service"

defaultLinuxStartScriptLocation in Rpm := "/lib/systemd/system"

defaultLinuxStartScriptLocation in Debian := "/lib/systemd/system"

name in Debian := "myproject"

rpmVendor := "MyOrganization"

rpmGroup := Some("Integration")

rpmLicense := Some("Apache 2.0")

packageSummary in Linux := "Myproject Service"```

What am I missing?

Hi,

I can't reproduce this issue. I created a test project with your build.sbt and a plugins.sbt without play.
My plugins.sbt

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbt" % "sbt-native-packager" % "1.2.2")

When I do

$ sbt debian:stage

And display the generated files

$ tree target/myproject-7.5.0.1 
target/myproject-7.5.0.1
├── DEBIAN
│   ├── conffiles
│   ├── control
│   ├── postinst
│   ├── postrm

│   └── prerm

│   └── default
│       └── myproject
├── lib
│   └── systemd
│       └── system
│           └── myproject.service
├── usr
│   └── share
│       └── myproject

│           └── logs -> /var/log/myproject
└── var
    └── log
        └── myproject

everything looks fine. The generated debian file also contains the correct systemd file.

As a side note. With sbt 0.13.15 you don't need blank lines between your settings.
Also when using the AutoPlugins the ordering is not crucial anymore ( ordering still
applies, but AutoPlugins enable themselves at the correct time )
