I would say that this should be formalized in Fedora guidelines. I would suggest retaining the ability to handle packages and services in current SysV and LSB system init environment. I do not see yet that systemd is an improvement over current init system and should be treated as beta software. There is a lot of noice, and confusion creating unit files, which should not be as they are basic building blocks ... What about the technical merits, the promised land of parallelization (which bash lacks but systemd delivers ?), ease-of-use (bash delivers), ability to quickly prototype/edit/setup machine with system services (bash delivers), etc ? You mean "progress" (always linear ?), "improvement" ? There are serious points (issue after issue) raised in that thread: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-June/152323.html that were not satisfactorily answered at all. I am very suspicious about the quick, ambush-like tactics - do you remember the reception systemd and GNOME joint attempt to roll over the rest of UNIX/Linux community received ? Easy, my fellow Linuxers :-) Do it for your own interest ! JB -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
