Systemd can reach...

BeaStiE35 · 10-14-2014, 09:14 AM

I'm concerned as Slackware user if that possibility could happen...

Nothing is imposible in quantum physics, my friend.

Patrick is at the helm; he has navigated the choppy open source seas for over 20 years. I'm not worried.

Oh, is this a "complete the sentence" thingy?

Ok, how about:

... Outer Mongolia in the bag of a travelling hermit, before I'll use it..

hint: hermits don't travel....

Well, Ok, I suppose they could travel, but they'd tend to bump into people and they don't like that sort of thing, so they're more likely to stay home in their caves.

One hundred binaries, soonish.

The dogs bark, but the caravan goes on...

No offense. Slackware as distribution is not a leader but a follower.
As in the case of xfree86 vs xorg we'll have no choice but to adopt what the mainstream provides.

There is a lot of rant against systemd in this forum. I wonder how much of it is first hand.

May be it is time for me to give it a spin. That's the only way to make my mind.

Cheers

There is only so much he can do. He has proven himself capable of avoiding numerous mines, but the whirlpool may be too powerful to circumnavigate.

So the last will be first, as they say in that famous book. And no offense taken, I'm still in awe of your great work on LDAP authentication.

Perhaps. I am hopeful that Pat can tack away from the maelstrom for a while yet.

This subject has already been explored in this thread. You all might want to have a look-see.

Yup. We know. I think this topic definitely strikes a cord with a lot of Slackers.

The biggest argument against SystemD is the arrogance of its creator.

Ztcoracat · 10-17-2014, 10:04 PM

After reading this Wikipedia page the sentence that stood out the most (I thought) was:

Quote:

Lennart Poettering and Kay Sievers; wanted to improve the software framework for expressing dependencies, to allow more processing to be done concurrently or in parallel during system booting, and to reduce the computational overhead of the shell.

IMO, the init system wasn't broken to begin with-
My question is what is the real motive that Poettering and Sievers have?

Furthermore, why replace what was working? (again I think it's motive or agenda related)

The cabal is currently targeting Gentoo, but rest assured, after the "haters" at Gentoo have been dealt with, the less vocal "haters" using Slackware will be targeted. All WILL BE assimilated (then eliminated)!
