]] Lennart Poettering | we have distilled a little "official" package description for systemd | based on those from the existing packages of the various | distributions. It would be nice if the various packagers could adopt | this new description for their packages (i.e. debian control files, .spec | files), so that they stay in sync. Thank you. | | "systemd is a system and session manager for Linux, compatible | with SysV and LSB init scripts. systemd provides aggressive | parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation | for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, | keeps track of processes using Linux cgroups, supports | snapshotting and restoring of the system state, maintains mount | and automount points and implements an elaborate transactional | dependency-based service control logic. It can work as a drop-in | replacement for sysvinit."
The text here is quite heavy to read. Could we make it less a listing of features and more of an answer to the question «why should I be interested in this package?»? Something along the lines of: Description: init replacement and session manager systemd is a session manager and drop-in replacement for sysvinit It is compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts. . Amongst its features are process supervision using Linux cgroups, parallelisation of service start-up and on-demand starting of services using DBus, socket and mount activation. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
