Description Pavel Volkov 2013-07-27 19:46:22 UTC 
These are configuration files used by systemd.

We are one step away from making openrc package optional: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373219
There are not many packages left that still lack systemd service files: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448882

I think those three files should be installed from tree, not manually or with sys-apps/baselayout-systemd package (systemd overlay). USE=systemd on baselayout maybe?

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2013-07-27 20:01:23 UTC 
I don't really see a reason to install those files in any package (including baselayout); they contain values that the sysadmin needs to configure himself.

When the files are missing, systemd either warns you or provides a reasonable default.
Comment 2 William Hubbs gentoo-dev 2013-07-27 22:43:33 UTC 
I tend to agree; there is no reason for us to install these with the
tree, especially in baselayout because in that situation everyone gets
them.
Comment 3 Pavel Volkov 2013-08-20 09:55:57 UTC 
Ok, let it be so.
