Package: systemd Version: 228-4 Severity: wishlist Dear maintainers,
please consider spliting systemd-tmpfiles into separate package, perhaps with sysvrc script provided. The tmpfiles mechanism is quite great and if we can use tmpfiles mechanism in the sysvrc scripts, we could remove a lot of custom shell scripts that do just the same - create a temporary directory in /run (and elsewhere). Personally I have a shell snippet that can understand most basic stuff in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/<package>.conf, but there's a lots of duplication since /run started being tmpfs that gets deleted on every machine reboot. Also since this utility probably doesn't need anything from the kernel, it might be compilable on non-Linux archs :) (worth trying). (Feel free to close the bug if you have given it enough thought and you still strongly disagree.)
