1. Portage should provide a service file. https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/polipo.service?h=packages/polipo 2. Portage should add a systemd uses flag to this package so that /usr/portage/net-proxy/polipo/polipo.crond will not be installed. /usr/portage/net-proxy/polipo/polipo.crond is a cron job that relies on OpenRC. When using systemd, my cron always sends me mail that contains the error message * You are attempting to run an openrc service on a * system which openrc did not boot. * You may be inside a chroot or you may have used * another initialization system to boot this system. * In this situation, you will get unpredictable results! * If you really want to do this, issue the following command: * touch /run/openrc/softlevel Reproducible: Always
If someone is willing to add systemd support, please provide all necessary files and patches (including ebuild patch) and test them. I don't have an access to a systemd setup, so I can't provide and test required changes on my own.
Why this is resolved as "CANTFIX"? It should remain open until someone fixes it.
I can't fix this bug, that's why I marked it as CANTFIX. If someone is willing to fix it, instructions are above. You can change the bug status when solution will be available.
This can stay open until fixe . Maintainers are not obligated to add init.d scripts or units.

Created attachment 396048 [details] service file
service file should be placed in files/polipo@.service
Created attachment 396052 [details] full ebuild (polipo-1.1.1)
(In reply to Yichao Zhou from comment #7) > service file should be placed in files/polipo@.service Why "@"? As I see from other packages, normal naming scheme is "${PN}.service".
The systemd service files with suffix "@" are called instance. See http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/instances.html for details. Using instance, we can use one service to start multiple instances of a service. For example, "systemctl enable polipo@config.foo" will enable the polipo that uses "config.foo" as the configuration file.
Repoman doesn't allow "@" character in file names. systemd_dounit doesn't allow to change unit file name. Find another way to solve this (see how multiplexing is handled for other packages).
And please consider that in Gentoo systemd unit files are usually name ".service", not ".systemd".
Forget my last comment, my mistake.
File name issue with: systemd_newunit "${FILESDIR}/${PN}_at.service" "${PN}@.service" Changes are added to polipo-1.1.1-r1.
