[Resolvconf-devel] Bug#700846: Service file

[Martin Pitt]

Hey Cameron,

I don't think it does. For that the job had to add a condition to
start before mounting something else (and I don't think that even
exists in upstart). This is mostly there to ensure that it can
actually write anything into /run. It's not necessary to translate
this to the systemd unit as /run is mounted before systemd runs any
unit.

I'm not aware of any issues with this, what do you mean? The crucial
thing here is that network-manager starts *after* resolvconf, which is
done by n-m's "Before=network.target".

Thanks,

Martin
