Hello 

hitch is a TLS terminating network proxy, made to be lean and mean and do 
nothing else than terminating TLS. It fits hand-in-glove with varnish cache. I 
maintain hitch in Fedora and EPEL. 

There is a bug in the current epel7 config that is fixed in the latest rawhide 
update. In short, the bug is that with the default config, hitch forks a 
daemon, while the systemd hitch service says Type=simple. See Bugzilla bug 
#1731420. 

The fedora update fixes the problem by changing the systemd service to 
Type=forking. 

There were two ways to get around the bug: 

- Set daemon=off in hitch.conf. That file is marked with noreplace, so the 
update will not overwrite this fix. As this does not match the updated 
Type=forking in hitch.service, hitch will not start after the update. 

- Set Type=forking in hitch.service. This is the same fix as in the update, so 
this should be safe. 

Also, the Fedora update adds a systemd limits.conf including LimitNOFILE=10240 
that is important, as the default value (1024) would trig network problems on a 
medium busy site (true story). 

Is it safe to push this update to epel7?
