LFS with systemd, what features will Python give me?

McZ · 03-06-2013, 01:04 AM

I have seen that there is a new book for the next release LFS SYSTEMD-20130304

I have been using systemd on LFS since 7.1 altough I build all dependencies, including Python, usbutils, pciutils, pcre and probibly more.

Anyway what are the extra features that are disabled when using the --without-python --disable-gudev switches?

If you unpack the systemd package and run ./configure --help then these 2 are shown:

Quote:

--without-python
Disable building the man page index and systemd-python (default: test)

--disable-gudev
disable Gobject libudev support [default=enabled]

Details about gudev can be found here: systemd-197/docs/gudev/html

I do believe that systemd-python is a python version of the systemd init script.
