1 All,
2
3 as part of bug 599044 [1], I have created a tmpfiles project which is a
4 standalone utility to handle systemd style tmpfiles.d files.
5
6 There is currently a live ebuild in the tree, but I haven't done any
7 releases yet.
8
9 Take a look at it, and anything about it is open for discussion at this
10 point.
11
12 The name is a bit vague, but honestly I couldn't figure out a better
13 name. I don't really want openrc in the name, because this is meant to
14 be more generic than that; it is not meant to require OpenRC to run.
15 OpenRC will use it, but not the other way around.
16
17 If you see any bugs, now is also the time to let me know before any
18 releases are out.
19
20 The plan, once the first release is out, is to rewrite this utility in a
21 better language. I'm considering C, but if I am comfortable by that time
22 in Go or Rust, I may use one of them.
23
24 Thanks,
25
26 William
