What I mean is that it would be stupid to have USE=openrc to apply such a |
| 8 |
patch. Either the patch is done correctly (does not break the daemon), or |
| 9 |
is not. If the former is true, USE=openrc would be broken; if the latter is |
| 10 |
true, why not simply apply it to begin with? |

If you really don't want PID files (and it probably means you have never |
| 13 |
had to deal with medium-scale deployments, but never mind), you can make it |
| 14 |
so that `-p` is an optional parameter, and if not passed no pidfile is |
| 15 |
created. And voilà, you can make an unconditional patch and even send it |
| 16 |
upstream for other init systems that do rely on pidfiles that are not |
| 17 |
OpenRC. |
