I appreciate the work of former package maintainers, they've done a great job over a long period of time.  Unfortunately, the state of the package had drifted away from upstream expectations and there was a lot of legacy cruft which in several areas was just wrong.  So despite the v2.4 upgrade not really being this dramatic, it turned out way more ugly than I wanted.  And in all this, I didn't consider the state of openvpn@.service carefully enough.  The initial plan was that users of openvpn@.service wouldn't notice this at all in F25 and F26, but there were some entanglements I didn't consider carefully enough.  Depending on how F25/F26 goes with all this fixed, I will consider if openvpn@.service deprecation will be postponed from F27 to F28.  And I will certainly send mails to Fedora ML once the dust settles.  Silly of me not doing that in the beginning.\n\nAgain, I'm truly sorry about this mess.

The TL;DR answer is that OpenVPN v2.4 can talk directly to systemd and does not need to use PID files and a directory where to save them.  This is solved by using Type=notify, which OpenVPN detects and uses sd_notify() under the hood.\n\nIn addition, if not using that approach but using Type=simple instead of Type=fork which the previous unit file used,  the need to use both --daemon and PID files also goes away.  So the approach used in the old unit file actually never was a good solution at all, making it unnecessary complicated by needing a tmpfiles.d config  in addition.\n\nHowever, using Type=notify have the advantage of ignoring --daemon in OpenVPN configuration files automatically.

The old approach or using the simpler Type=simple approach could havoc if the config file itself contains --daemon.", "timestamp": "2017-04-05 19:22:32", "update_id": 83348, "user_id": 446, "id": 588424, "testcase_feedback": [], "user": {"name": "dsommers", "email": "dazo@eurephia.org", "id": 446, "avatar": "https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/3261354ae2f56e3e735b0a15b987268d73f39e052ffd2fa431f74918d9d307dd?s=24&d=retro", "openid": "dsommers.id.stg.fedoraproject.org", "groups": [{"name": "packager"}, {"name": "ipausers"}, {"name": "fedora-contributor"}, {"name": "signed_fpca"}, {"name": "fedorabugs"}, {"name": "cla_redhat"}, {"name": "openvpn"}]}}}, {"karma": 0, "comment_id": 588425, "bug_id": 1435036, "comment": {"karma": 0, "karma_critpath": 0, "text": "> The old approach or using the simpler Type=simple approach could havoc if the config file itself contains --daemon.\n\nJust noticed this is slightly too much simplified and wrong.\n\nThe old approach **had** to use --daemon, as Type=fork tells systemd \"*this process forks a child process*\".  Otherwise it would fail.  And then it was required to use a PID file so systemd actually could manage the process somewhat.\n\nUsing just Type=simple (which is the default, if Type= is not provided) will fail if the OpenVPN configuration uses --daemon, as then the OpenVPN processes forks of a child process, daemonizes  it and the parent process quits.  Systemd would then be confused by this, as it doesn't expect the (parent) process to quit just like that.\n\nSo with Type=notify, OpenVPN actually detects that it is systemd who started the process, and then provides a \"status string\", including its PID value via sd_notify() inside the OpenVPN process directly.  And when this is done, OpenVPN just ignores forking daemonizing if  --daemon is provided, as that is not needed with this approach.
