I wonder if gnome-logs could be patched to work with loginkit and rsyslog/syslog-ng/sysklogd rather than just systemd-journald? If it's just a log parser/viewer, it must be possible.

Hey, it works on BSD. The more I deal with packages that "require" systemd, it is rapidly apparent that the package can simply be configured with systemd support for _reasons?_ It is a (pre-)build-time configuration, and distros are just going thataway instead of the "Oh yeah, other init systems exist" way. In fact, no gnome package I dealt with had a hard systemd requirement except one: gnome-logs. That is a gnome systemd binary log viewer. So, yeah, that one required systemd (journald?). mutter had a weird dependency that Debian patched in, so I had to patch it out, but even it worked fine before I did that. Everything else was just Debian making the systemd requirement -- not gnome. For the most part, I'm just changing the configuration to be the same as the non-Linux configuration (BSD/Hurd), which is already and inherently systemd-free. (Granted, I didn't check the patchlists to see if the systemd-freedom was actually provided by the Debian maintainers in order to get kfreebsd to work.) ~jaret _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
