[arch-general] Improve the filesystem package

2014-08-01 Thread Yamakaky
Hi I see some possible improvements to the filesystem package to use some of the recent improvements to systemd. I don't know if they are already planned. All the empty directories and the links could be replaced by a tmpfiles.d file, like /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/archlinux.conf. /etc/{group,gs

And what happens if my root filesystem is mounted read-only? So, please let's not allow tmpfiles to touch /etc... That's an interesting question, I don't know the answer. I think it will fail because ignoring the error would be worse for most of the cases. And all that assumes that you can e
