AUR ddns-updater package for Arch Linux

[Marcool04]

Hi there. Thanks for the great little tool that is ddns-updater. I just wanted to let people here know that I've adopted the AUR package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ddns-updater, updated it to the latest release, and improved the package a bit, adding a service file and such.

Please let me know if anybody sees a problem with it.

Best,

Mark.

Hi Mark, that's great, thanks for sharing!
If you need/would prefer to have some files such as the service file directly in this repository, feel free to let me know.
I've added a link to the AUR package in the readme in a094476

Thanks for that! That's great.
I don't mind either way about the service. If you feel it might be useful for others to have it in the repo here that's fine by me, otherwise I am used to including service files in AUR packages, they are often not included but I find them very useful so write my own in most cases.
Feel free to include something along the lines of what I wrote:

[Unit]
Description=Dynamic DNS update daemon
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
SyslogIdentifier=ddns-updater
WorkingDirectory=/var/lib/ddns-updater
User=ddns-updater
Environment=DATADIR=/var/lib/ddns-updater/data
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ddns-updater 

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

This could certainly be improved with hardening and other tweaks. Note that it does assume a ddns-updater user has been created and has its home dir in /var/lib.
