No they are not conflicting, but should be able to do without CK for them at some point. >In xorg-server, why is elogind recommended? Isn't it only needed if >you >want to build gnome? Same question for polkit and network-manager and >pulseaudio and dbus. > Exactly. But as above, ultimately it'll negate the need for CK by putting the power features on the bus. Perhaps optional, but required for Gnome is more appropriate. Still fuzzy at this point because I didn't touch the other DEs yet. Just wanted to make sure it doesn't get lost since I'm slow. >Also, there are several package updates needed for LFS and I will be >doing all those later today except dbus and systemd. I do not think >that any of those will affect elogind. Shouldn't, I started a new automated build last night, but haven't been able to check on it yet. -- DJ -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
