All, I'm sure everyone has seen the news item and the masking of opentmpfiles.
The tl;dr is that I do not see a future for opentmpfiles as it currently stands and I don't see a particular need for another fork. systemd-tmpfiles is small (a single binary and two man pages), and it is the reference implementation. The only issue I'm aware of with it is on selinux (but we can fix that in our selinux policies; it is not a bug in systemd-tmpfiles). I think that systemd-tmpfiles is the better choice at this point than attempting to keep opentmpfiles going. Opentmpfiles is based on a fork that was being used in archlinux before they switched to systemd. As far as I know, Gentoo is the only distro using this, so moving to systemd-tmpfiles is fine with me. William
