Install systemd unit file into image from source?

Install systemd unit file into image from source?

I've got an application that I'd like to install into my custom image and
that application has a couple of associated systemd unit files that should
be installed as well. The application itself is a very simple cmake
project. The relevant bits of the recipe file look something like this:

```
<standard variables go here>

SRC_URI = "<git address goes here>"

S = "${WORKDIR}/git"

inherit systemd
SYSTEMD_AUTO_ENABLE = "enable"
# the service files are stored in the git repository in the misc folder
SYSTEMD_SERVICE_${PN} = "${S}/misc/testapp@.service ${S}/misc/testapp-extra@
.service"

do_install_append() {
    install -d ${D}${systemd_unitdir}/system
    install -m 0644 ${S}/misc/testapp@.service
${D}${systemd_unitdir}/system/
    install -m 0644 ${S}/misc/testapp-extra@.service
${D}${systemd_unitdir}/system/
}

inherit cmake
```

When i try to do do `bitbake testapp` to try out the recipe, I get an error
telling me that: SYSTEMD_SERVICE_testapp value
/projects/poky/build/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/testapp/0.1-r0/git/misc/testapp@.service
does not exist.

I'm using yocto 3.2.1 if that matters.

SYSTEMD_SERVICE_${PN} should just be set to the service name, not the full path. So…
SYSTEMD_SERVICE_${PN} = "testapp-extra@.service"

Also, consider using ${systemd_system_unitdir} instead of ${systemd_unitdir}/system

Cheers!
