Running older versions of Memcached worked just fine with systemd, but as of 1.4.7 the memcached.service no longers appears to be part of the package, which means systemd can't start it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge net-misc/memcached 2. systemctl start memcached 3. Actual Results: Failed to issue method call: Unit memcached.service failed to load: No such file or directory. Expected Results: Started memcached Portage 2.2.8-r1 (default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome, gcc-4.8.2, glibc-2.18-r1, 3.12.5-gentoo x86_64)

provide a file and I can install it
I'm not an experienced systemd dev, but I think this one they have on github should suffice: https://github.com/memcached/memcached/blob/master/scripts/memcached.service
Correction. The .service file they have in their github makes an assumption about the placement of the EnvironmentFile. I did some testing of my own, and this appears to do the job: [Unit] Description=memcached daemon After=network.target [Service] EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/memcached ExecStart=/usr/bin/memcached -p ${PORT} -u ${USER} -m ${CACHESIZE} -c ${MAXCONN} $OPTIONS [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target I'm not sure what the best way to make it part of the ebuild is though. Whether you should use a patch for their original file, or just copy/paste this -- you'd know better than me. I can tell you though that this definitely works for me.
fixed in memcached-1.4.17-r2.ebuild
It was using the one without EnvironmentFile on purpose: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd/Ebuild_policy#Unit_file_guidelines I would use the old one: [Unit] After=network.target Description=High-performance, distributed memory object caching system Documentation=man:memcached(1) Documentation=http://code.google.com/p/memcached/ [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/memcached User=memcached [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
fixed for real this time
thanks!
