It is simple: will there be an official update (i.e., a package in openSUSE-12.3-Update repository) for systemd that prevents/solves the current status, i.e., the creation without removal of these [/var]/tmp/systemd-private-* directories?
If you can make your case, in bugzilla on why we should fix a cosmetic problem (the directories take next to nothing of resources on the system)
Or in other words, if this problem has been solved by systemd-N with N strictly greater than 195, will systemd-195 be replaced by systemd-N via an official update or will changes in systemd-N be backported to systemd-195 via an official update?
My impression is that the current status will stand until oS 12.3 goes out of support, and then no one will care about the problem.
One 12.2 I have (according to zypper info)
Repository: openSUSE-12.2-Update Name: systemd Version: 44-10.8.1 Arch: i586 Vendor: openSUSE Installed: Yes Status: up-to-date
and on 12.3
Repository: openSUSE-12.3-Update Name: systemd Version: 195-13.25.1 Arch: i586 Vendor: openSUSE Installed: Yes Status: up-to-date
WOW! What a difference!
So? they are just numbers; nothing prevents the version to be increased by 1 just for fixing a typo.
THe version number increased after udev was merged into systemd, the udev version number took over the systemd one. The versions shipped are not randomly choosen, the are "distribution release points" (to give it a name) , where distributions can settle in. The next "distribution point" is systemd 204/205 (or whatever version is pre-kdbus [1]) after that a new bulk of invasive changes will take place, on which systemd will require new kernel releases/features.
