He's a Gentoo developer who might be involved in OpenRC development (he's not its Gentoo maintainer). logind is a replacement of ConsoleKit, which is now dead upstream (and has been for one or two years). On my (Ubuntu) laptop: [root@lenovo15]# loginctl list-sessions SESSION UID USER SEAT c1 124 dirmngr seat0 c2 1000 th seat0 2 sessions listed. [root@lenovo15]# loginctl list-users UID USER 124 dirmngr 1000 th 2 users listed. [root@lenovo15]# loginctl list-seats SEAT seat0 1 seats listed. Its role is the tracking and management of user sessions. That somehow extends into power management and the first dependency of GNOME on systemd (that I know of) was of the power module of gnome-settings-daemon in GNOME 3.8. >> If the Ubuntu developers who've already split logind from systemd up >> to v204 throw up their hands and say it can't be done for v205+, then >> I'll believe it... > > Not that I'm in hurry too :) You might not be in a hurry but I'm sure that there are Debian users and developers who'd like to see GNOME depend on logind rather than on systemd. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
