My understanding of this proposal is that there would be a “shepherd-foreign” package, which is like “shepherd” but without ‘reboot’ and ‘halt’. That package could be implemented with ‘trivial-build-system’ or ‘copy-build-system’ indeed, and it would symlink all of ‘shepherd’, except its ‘sbin’ directory. > I just thought of a more elegant solution, but this would be a lot > harder to implement properly: > > - Move the sbin stuff into a seperate output > - Home shepherd service only adds the main output to the profile and > shepherd-root-service both > - Will need adjustments some packages that currently reference > shutdown/reboot ( -> lots of rebuilds because logind) and the same > change for the shepherd packages in the shepherd module. The advantage is that no extra step would be needed when using a foreign distro. But yeah, it’s relatively intrusive, and not my favorite solution, FWIW. Dunno. WDYT? Ludo’.
