Hi Yi,

This is probably fine but it needs a better description in the commit log.

Please explain why you're making this change and
what the implication is for users, such as changing a build-time config to a run-time instantiation.

Also the conf files change is not mentioned.

We'll hold your other kea commits for v2.

In patch 2:
Is : kea.volatiles for sysvinit ? Is so, please mention that in the commit log.

Patch 3: looks good.

Thanks,

../Randy

Create runtime and state directories using RuntimeDirectory and
StateDirectory in systemd service files, rather than creating
them via ExecStartPre.
