Hi everyone, for a couple of months now, I see on the list some of
activities about OpenRC been ported to FreeBSD or OpenRC to Debian and
other stuff related to SystemD.
I have some basic questions about all that :
2. I saw on some lists that Gnome/Kde and Xfce plan to use some SystemD
API, so does it means that we will need to install SystemD aside of
OpenRC ?
For Xfce it only means that xfce4-session will try to query credentials
also from systemd, not ConsoleKit alone
There are no plans of removing ConsoleKit support for Xfce wrt upstream
anytime soon since Xfce is committed for long-term BSD support, and the
Xfce development team includes developers, from eg. OpenBSD
4. Finally, is there any reason why Gnome/Kde/Xfce wants to add deps
related to SystemD ? I don't understand why these desktops want to
depend on a specific Sysint....
|| ( sys-auth/consolekit sys-apps/systemd ) or something can be done if
the package tries to query both via DBUS calls
As in, something needs to tell PolicyKit (polkit) that you are a local
user and thus grant access to eg. USB removable devices
