In general, nothing should fail. sysvinit scripts are first class citizens in the systemd world and you can have native → sysv → native dependencies. There are some bugs, both in systemd and in init script (such as cycles), but in general this hasn't been a big problem so far. I believe that the ease of maintenance and the ability to do more with native systemd units (private /tmp, network namespacing, etc) will make it interesting for maintainers to move towards native units by themselves, but there's no flag day involved for a switch-over. So, I'm not sure what you mean by «all the things that need to be changed outside the GNOME related packages». If you have any particular things in mind, please feel to enumerate them and I'll answer to the best of my ability. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
