Well, you can set it, and it affects where the unit files are installed. Whether this is an option worth providing is another matter -- I was trying to ensure that every path we installed things in could be customized, whether or not you could coerce (e.g.) systemd into actually looking for things in those other places. (From a quick check, it looks like systemd does not allow customization of these paths, so probably prefix and DESTDIR support is sufficient and nobody would ever customize --systemd-unit-dir directly except for per-user installation under $HOME -- which nobody would ever do with DTrace because it has to run as root.)

I just think the sheer number of them is getting a bit much. Moving the compat ones out of the way at least means that it's easier to grasp the ones that have an effect. > In summary: > > - I think that using --systemd-dir and deprecating --systemd-unit-dir is a > valid change, especially since we hve the inconsistency of having had that > specific option for the unit file directory but not for the presets.
