One of my worst and most annoying habits is to give reasoned and useful answers to rhetorical questions. So: You might decide to rebuild a local package lacking a dependency on libsystemd0 if you feel a need for it and what you want isn't available in any even-easier fashion. > I simply want a distro without systemd. But wanting it doesn't _get_ you that -- NOR does it get you a system without libsystemd0, either. Thus my point. > When i cannot get one i will start pinning or rebuild local packages > but not one moment earlier. Great, so answer me a question: How are you getting a system without libsystemd0 today? To my knowledge, you would need to follow one of the suggestions currently included on my OpenRC Conversion page's list of 'overcoming dependency obstacles' tips, which are (a) equivs, (b) find a third-party repo with a rebuilt (or differently built) package, (c) wait for Devuan to produce one, (d) rebuild the package locally, or (e) construct a deb package using the upstream source tarball using debhelper. (I also mentioned on this mailing list the creative idea of overwriting the problematic library with a nearly null-function one, to fool apps claimed to merely see if a library can be opened without being particular about what's in it.) Is there an additional way of achieving that result today? Or are you merely saying you really, really, really want one? You 'cannot get one' today for a number of packages including (according to one poster here) ClamAV. So, how are you achieving it _today_, sir? If you can suggest an additional method, I'll be glad to amend my list of suggestions. Otherwise, I'm not sure what your point is. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
