We currently use both /etc/tmpdirs.d and /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d - the first for SysVinit, the second for systemd.
Moving config files from /etc to /usr/lib?
Not really config files. And we have them already in that location, just duplicated with different semantics.
I suggest to drop /etc/tmpdirs.d completely (after taking care that the files are listed in tmpfiles.d
How can you ensure that? We don't know about files which have been added by admins.
I can only take care of files as part of the distribution. Note that even openSUSE 12.1 will not by default read /etc/tmpdirs.d at all unless you use sysvinit.
The question is how to create the directories when booting with SysVinit. We have two options: 1) Run /bin/systemd-tmpfiles from systemd to create these 2) Add some shell magic that reads and parses the tmpfiles.d and creates those.
While shell-free bootup is a major goal of systemd it's a major reason for others to stick with init scripts at all.
Since I see that systemd is already - even if not used by default - required by a couple of packages, I'm going with the first option.
Having already tons of dependencies is a good argument to create even more dependencies?
No, an argument to not reinvent the wheel a second time but instead use one tool for all cases, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger aj@{suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn,Jennifer Guild,Felix Imendörffer,HRB16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
