The thing I think about is that is if the solution for parallelizing boot is an xinetd replacement, was there any thought to just patching xinetd? As a former upstream maintainer (and former because its not actively developed nor passed along to another caretaker), we would have taken patches that added AF_UNIX or dbus activation if we understood the need. As proof, Rob added rendezvous support before it went into its unmaintained state. Imagine an updated xinetd + upstart. Would that not solve the problems, cause less turmoil, and be more secure? -Steve -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
