updated PKG for -scanner and also made one for manager. Tested both compile and put the right files in right locations.
I need to step away from the computer right now, I'll make a new PKG for gsad later.

Some noted modifications from the RH versions
* Addition of GNUTLS_PROIRITIES settings, with a secure default. the OpenVAS defaults are terrible, and use broken ciphers for the web interface.
* moved /etc/sysconfig, a redhat-ism, to /etc/default. These scripts are parsed by the systemd units.
Background: These are the same systemd units I helped write for turtle in the atomic corp a few months ago.
Can you please mainline this.

Its a crucial part of the install proccess.
I do my best, getting OpenVAS running takes about a day(8 full working hours) or more of labor. The systemd units make running an OpenVAS server far easier.
edit: in the meantime, can you delete the existing openvas-scanner.service file from the package in openvas-scanner
rationale: its pretty terrible, and it conflicts with the existing openvas-systemd package in AUR with the good files.
Have there been any updates in opening a pull request with upstream?

Can I get an update on this please. Arch Linux is shipping daemons without service files.
Thanks for persevering either way. :)
pwwwweease?
I still wait for systemd service files from upstream. Upstream said they would care about this. We have also to rename our openvas packages.
I have updated the openvas / greenbone packages. The only package that still needs a service file is the `gvmd` one. A patch for it is welcome
