Well, I'd just start w/ applying corresponding patches in DNG and share them w/ other (non-systemd) distros.

That's exactly what I do *not* want. Instead I wanna have an clearly defined API for *exactly* the actual real-world problems - as hilevel as possible. sd_notify() is more an catchall for anything ... the kind of API I do not wish to have. > However to get developer buy in, we'd probably end up having to > implement the entire systemd api in the shim and something analogous to > systemd functionality in the library to make it worthwhile instead of > using libsystemd0 directly. Not impossible but certainly looks to be a > reasonable chunk of work. NAK. I'd like to have clean solutions for clearly defined real world problems, not some catch-all-do-anything. --mtx -- mit freundlichen Grüßen -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consulting +49-151-27565287 _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
