They don't have control over the dependencies in packages and distributions they don't own though; so, for them to be listed as a dependency goes a long way. I think that for most packages in the Portage tree there is a large enough chain of dependencies between the package and systemd such that one can always avoid having to install systemd. But we're not there and I think we will never be there, because systemd is not often listed as a dependency (only on ~2 or so GNOME packages?) compared to something like ncurses that is listed all over the place... -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
