Re: [aur-requests] [PRQ#5845] Orphan Request for opensm

Fair enough, I didn't realize that upstream had the functionality provided differently. I'll investigate making that work with my configuration.

Momentarily there will be a new AUR package opensm-systemd-multiple-interfaces which will have Fedora's extra configuration file functionality. It will be dependency-compatible with opensm, so you can uninstall opensm and install opensm-systemd-multiple-interfaces.
