Both work fine without systemd, but the systemd implementation also happens not to be unmaintained and happens to be more complete. > How are they identical. The last rites message does not say that opentmpfiles and systemd-tmpfiles are identical. That'd do a disservice to the actually complete, unmaintained, and (currently) non-CVE-affected implementation in systemd. > I use this on my raspi server, works fine.

[ignoring this nonsensical statement, notice put here for clarity] Gentoo devs aren't obliged to maintain software you like to use. systemd-utils[tmpfiles] works on all Gentoo systems, including non-systemd ones. Until that changes (which is unlikely), I doubt there will be much interest in maintaining a fork from inside Gentoo. Please take up opentmpfiles maintenance. You have https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/689954cc7fd55402dc4c82aa0ac7= 0efb to address, and probably some other issues. See https://github.com/OpenRC/opentmpfiles/issues/19 for context. The message above implies that a rewrite in C is necessary. This should be rather easy. The systemd implementation is only ~4k LoC (excluding shared code), so I imagine that a complete reimplementation should be far less than 10k. Since this is fairly elementary stuff, it should be possible to finish in a weekends time. Submit a PR to re-add opentmpfiles after you're done. Looking forward to reviewing your contributions upstream. Have a lovely day :-) =2D-=20 Arsen Arsenovi=C4=87 --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iOcEARYKAI8WIQT+4rPRE/wAoxYtYGFSwpQwHqLEkwUCZQbfq18UgAAAAAAuAChp c3N1ZXItZnByQG5vdGF0aW9ucy5vcGVucGdwLmZpZnRoaG9yc2VtYW4ubmV0RkVF MkIzRDExM0ZDMDBBMzE2MkQ2MDYxNTJDMjk0MzAxRUEyQzQ5MxEcYXJzZW5AZ2Vu dG9vLm9yZwAKCRBSwpQwHqLEk/hAAP9+DrXAWK+16z/+ncMTO3aro2/5OGzk92dH n58QE2xFjAD+KhkGiyCNs4Fe+G23G0ZLb1+P9IT7wx1wrLdSVKvuiA8= =w1T+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
