I'd propose giving them some gasoline to burn systemd-shim with. It's a tool to run *drumroll* systemd on a system not yet running it as pid 1. With a good part of systemd's downsides, none of the benefits. And, what's worse, its presence allowed many packages to introduce absolute dependencies on systemd (usually via libpam-systemd). -- An imaginary friend squared is a real enemy. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
