2011-07-30 Thread Pedro F. Giffuni
Hello; Just passing by, I found very interesting the notes from the BoF. Since it seems you will be working on a systemd replacement for other systems, perhaps you will find it easier to start from launchd, which is free and was ported to FreeBSD on Google Summer Code. http://wiki.freebsd.org/lau
