Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Excerpts from Stefan Bühler's message of 2011-12-17 11:18:14 +0000:

I’m not sure why providing this file would add a dependency on systemd:

 • If the user uses sysvinit, the init-script will create the folder.
 • If the user uses systemd, its tmpfiles.d-mechanism will create the folder.

So, this seems like a completely different problem to me. Could you elaborate?

Cool, feel free to do that. I didn’t send an email with an upstream inclusion
request since it seems like lighttpd doesn’t ship an init-file either, but
providing that file is definitely a good thing for other distributions.

Best regards,
Michael
