-Subject: [PATCH] resolved: create /etc/resolv.conf symlink at runtime
-
-If the symlink exists, do nothing. In particular, if it is a broken symlink,
-we cannot really know if the administator configured it to point to
-a location used by some service that hasn't started yet, so we
-don't touch it in that case either.
