Hi all,

I have been working on splitting the tmpfiles functionality out of
OpenRC [1], and I believe the new package is about to enter the tree.

OpenRC itself doesn't need this package to boot since it doesn't use
tmpfiles.d files, but other software does need it.

This brings up a couple of questions.

Since we now will have two different ways to process tmpfiles, is
virtual/tmpfiles appropriate, with the default being opentmpfiles?

Once opentmpfiles is in the tree and stable, should virtual/tmpfiles
be added to @system, or should we have the packages that need it rdepend
on it directly? I tend to lean toward the second option.

Thanks,

William
