[arch-general] Missing rc-local.service
Hello, I'd like to use /etc/rc.local and noticed, that there's something called systemd-rc-local-generator which should somehow pull in rc-local.service on boot, according to its man page. But on my ArchLinux, the service file isn't there, and neither does /etc/rc.local run on boot. Is the systemd in ArchLinux packaged correctly? Thank you. % pacman -Q|grep '^systemd' systemd 238.76-1 systemd-sysvcompat 238.76-1

When we migrated to systemd we basically stopped promoting (or even supporting) rc.local. The alternative is to write a systemd unit which have a lot of benefits. (finer grained control, etc.)

Well it might be an upstream bug, since the man page is installed but the binary. -- Jelle van der Waa
