This was due to a refactoring of the upstart init network code nearly a
month ago by someone, AFAIK, not currently on the list which created
some files in an incorrect location and the creation of dependencies on
it in the systemd code.  Patches for this fax paux have been submitted
by me and Stéphane is currently evaluating my patch set to correct the
problems that were created by the earlier submission by another that
inadvertently broke all the rpm based systems.  This was reported
several weeks ago and I submitted my fix, after some private discussion,
on 08/25.

Please review the following thread, starting on 08/25/2014, on this list
for the patches and some discussion...

platforms.

At the current time, 1.1.0alpha1 will not build on rpm systems using
"make rpm" if you have "%_unpackaged_files_terminate_build 1".  Setting
that to zero will not help as the systemd service unit files will fail
to run due to the missing file.

While the fix to include the missing file may look trivial, it's not the
correct answer.  We're currently waiting on Stéphane but he only started
reviewing my patch set about a or so week ago.

Stéphane: We need that patch set to get the rpm builds up and going
again.  Any update?

Regards,
Mike
