libsystemd on its own doesn't entangle anyhting with anything else as it's just a runtime link library providing systemd API symbols (as I've written quite a few times already). But its presence enables people to 'entangle' unrelated applications (like apache) with systemd-specific function calls (of no use to anyone but systemd users): Weren't it for libsystemd, UNIX(*) application which were 'enhanced' with systemd API calls like sd_notify wouldn't run on systems without systemd anymore. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
