This "one particular example" is the same feature (cgroups) that everyone keeps talking and talking about. Everyone keeps saying "systemd uses Linuxisms like cgroups", but nobody mentions any others. Is this the only major Linuxism in systemd, or is it just the only one that's interesting enough to talk about? I ask because, if porting systemd to kFBSD is a mere matter of emulating cgroups with jails (from what I understand, jails provide roughly a superset of cgroups functionality), that's a somewhat different picture than I've been assuming. -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
