Bug#795269: TMPTIME not honored anymore

Package: systemd
Version: 215-17+deb8u1

/etc/default/rcS contains a line

# delete files in /tmp during boot older than x days.
# '0' means always, -1 or 'infinite' disables the feature
#TMPTIME=0
TMPTIME=10

This setting is completely ignored by systemd during system boot.

I would consider this a bug and breaks functionality during an upgrade.


Hint for the interested reader: Copy /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf into
/etc/tmpfiles.d and modify it as you like.  This should override the
system file.

Regards

	Joey
