Big words - I think we're ready for this. ppc is not yet in sync, but
that's all.

What we need now is to test we are backwards compatible. If you want to
help, just follow the instructions here:

http://wiki.frugalware.org/index.php/Systemd#WIP_repo

But do _not_ add anything to the kernel commandline. The expected
result is really just that nothing breaks.

Also, if you want to play, you can alter your kernel commandline and
give systemd a try, but the main point is to test the sysvinit part of
the changes introduced by the systemd repo.

If nobody shouts and the repo gets in sync, I plan to merge the systemd
repo on Monday. (Again, it's disabled by default, so it's not a huge
change.)

Considering how critical component of Frugalware an init systemd is, and
that we're soon at rc1, I don't think it would be a wise idea to change
the default for 1.4. I also say this because we got some reports about
some cgroups kernel bug (the cgroups feature is heavily used by
systemd), which is already fixed in kernel-2.6.37-rcX, but we don't have
that in -current yet.

Of course if it's all OK, we can change the default right after 1.4 is
out.

Does this sound OK?
